The publication discusses issues related to the problems of Quality of Working Life (QWL). QWL is the set of indicators created to measure the quality of the working life. This is not an easy problem to address because different approaches to work exist, from the negative approach, to the approach that concentrates on satisfaction and fulfillment obtained through work. The aim of the paper is to analyze the concept of QWL indicator and present some examples of the sub indicators used in this case.
