Abstract: The aim of the study was to see whether advanced technology has an impact on the quality of work life of employees. The sample for the study constituted 227 executives and 173 non-executives of a public sector steel plant, using advanced technology. The result of the stepwise multiple regression analysis reveals no significant influence of technology on the employees' QWL values; but a clear significant impact on other QWL dimensions — work complexity, autonomy, personal growth opportunities, top management support, workers' control, concern for organization's performance, QWL feelings and the quality of their social life.
