Abstract

The quality of working life is a construct that has demanded many academic and research efforts to delimit its scope, especially in the developed countries. In Peru, however, much research has not been done, much less on the role of institutional support for work. Thus, our objective is to know the relationship between quality of work life and the institutional support for work. Using a sample of 638 professionals from public and private organizations in Lima and provinces, who studied masters, doctorates, second specialties and graduates of various specialties in a public and private university. Applying the questionnaire "Quality of Life at Work" (CVT GOHISALO) prepared by Raquel González-Baltazar, Gustavo Hidalgo-Santacruz, José G. Salazar Estrada, María L Preciado-Serrano (2010) in Mexico. Our findings indicate that there is dissatisfaction among a high percentage of professionals regarding both the quality of work life and institutional support for work; as well as there is an association of interdependence between both variables. An analysis of these variables with some socio-demographic and organizational factors allowed us to know the differences of opinion of the groups based on their perceptions and work experiences of the participants.
