Abstract: Purpose: The study aims to find out various factors associated with the quality of work-life (QWL) among faculty working in technical institutes in the state of Punjab, India. Design/Methodology: Data have been collected by judgement sampling—a non-probability sampling technique with a self-designed questionnaire which has been administered to the faculty of various technical institutes (both private and government promoted) situated in the state of Punjab. The data have been analysed with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20 through Reliability analysis, Kaiser–Meyer–Oklin (KMO) test, Bartlett’s test of sphericity. Thereafter, factor analysis is used to identify the factors associated with the QWL. Findings: Seven factors are identified: management policies, work environment, fair salary and rewards, training and development opportunities, job design and life space, job/social security and grievance handling. Besides these, the factorial validity (convergent and discriminant validity) is also established. Originality: Vast literature is available on the area under study but perhaps none of the studies has been conducted to investigate QWL of faculty in the technical education sector. The implications of these findings will have a significant role in improving the understanding of factors associated with work-life quality of the faculty.
