Abstract
A preliminary conceptual model for examining the effects of organizational work on the perceived quality of life (pQL) defines pQL as affective beliefs (hot cognitions) concerning the status of one's life. The potential influences of work on pQL are considered in terms of effects mediated by the perceived quality of work life versus those mediated by the perceived quality of nonwork life; person-changing versus environment-changing effects; and first-party versus second-party effects.Keywords
