Abstract
The present study attempts to explore the relationship between QWL of veterinarians and their level of job satisfaction, job
commitment and job involvement. The universe of the study has been confined to the state of Punjab comprising 649 veterinary doctors working
on permanent basis in government institutions. A sample size of 300 veterinary doctors was selected to represent the universe. The analysis
reveals that professional commitment and job involvement, although have positive relationship and have explanatory power for QWL, but when
taken in combination with job satisfaction, loses their relevance. Job satisfaction outweighs the effects of job involvement and professional
commitment and has emerged as the only significant factor from the category of employee attitude. The results of the study intend to assist
policy makers in identifying key work place issues which contributes towards satisfaction as perceived by the veterinarians, in order to develop
strategies to address and develop QWL conditions for them.
