Abstract: This study examines the association between socio-economic and psychological characteristics of employees and their perceived Quality of Work Life (QWL) in sugar co-operatives. A sample of 300 employees was analyzed using correlation analysis to assess the relationship between sixteen independent variables (including age, designation, experience, education, marital status, and family size) and perceived QWL. Results revealed that variables such as Age (r = 0.676), Designation (r = 0.822), Experience in Present Job (r = 0.659), Experience in Co-operative (r = 0.602), Educational Qualification (r = 0.738), and Marital Status (r = 0.358) had significant positive correlations with QWL at the 0.01 level. Conversely, Locality (r = -0.207), Earner Status (r = -0.204), and Size of Family (r = -0.154) were found to have negative significant correlations. The findings highlight the critical role of demographic and experiential factors in shaping employees’ perceptions of work life. Policy implications for enhancing QWL in sugar co-operatives include transparent career progression, employee welfare initiatives, and support for family-related challenges.
