Abstract

The ever-evolving organizational sphere revisited the ways of work and gushed into the strife of adapting to the ‘new normal’ with the onset of the global pandemic. This study focuses on millennials/Gen Y/the global generation, born between 1981-1996, working in the corporate or private sector setup in the current pandemic situation and aims to explore how their performance at work influences their quality of life, in the context of the ongoing pandemic situation. Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) and WHO Quality of Life-BREF Scale were administered on a sample of 100 participants (51 females and 49 males) of ages 25-41 years, working in a wide array of corporate jobs and private service sectors. Spearman’s correlation was used to study relation between work performance and quality of life. Findings revealed that task performance had positive and significant associations with physical health, psychological and environment domains of quality of life; however, association was positive and not significant with social relationships domain. Contextual work performance had positive and significant associations with all four domains of quality of life, while counterproductive work behaviour had negative and not significant associations with physical, social, and environmental domains, but negative and significant association for psychological domain of quality of life. The study provides practical implications for organizations to ensure systems that improve quality of life of employees as being their assets, which in turn will promote enhanced productivity of individuals and greater production of organizations, at large.
