Abstract :
    Abstract The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the quality of work life and its components with the organizational commitment of women working in Sari Municipality. The research method is descriptive, correlational, and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population consisted of 200 women working in Sari Municipality, of whom 127 were selected as a sample based on the standard sampling table of Krejci and Morgan (1970). To access the sample in this study, simple random sampling method was used. Library and questionnaire methods were used to collect information. The instruments used in this study were Richard Walton s Employee Quality of Work Life Questionnaire and Alan Meyer s Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. The data collection tool has the necessary validity. Cronbach s alpha for Richard Walton s Employee Quality of Work Life Questionnaire was 0.83 and for Alan Meyer s Organizational Commitment Questionnaire was 0.81. In order to test the research hypotheses, non-parametric statistical tests such as Spearman s correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon test were used. Therefore, based on the studies conducted on the research hypotheses, we conclude that there is a significant relationship between the components of quality of work life such as (providing job security, fair wages and benefits, healthy and safe work environment, legality at work, determining the path of career advancement, independence at work, employee participation in decision-making, providing opportunities for growth and improvement of skills) and the organizational commitment of women working in Sari Municipality. Also, in examining the main hypothesis of the research, it has been observed that there is a significant relationship between the quality of work life and women s organizational commitment, as well as between the quality of work life and emotional commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Finally, in a comparative study, it was observed that there is no significant difference between the views of women working in Sari Municipality regarding the quality of work life and organizational commitment, considering age, work experience, and type of tenure.
