ABSTRACT:
The research used a quantitative methodology to examine the impact of work-life quality and a positive environment on employees' organizational commitment. The role of work-life quality (WLQ) and a happy workplace (HWP) is regarded as a mediating variable and their significant contributions to the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment of employees are verified. The research involved 202 participants employed at rubber industries in southern Vietnam. The findings validated the existence of WLQ and HWP as mediators. This represents the novel focus of the research.
