Quality of work-life (QWL) is concerned with the welfare and satisfaction of employees on the job as well as off the job. The purpose of this research is to examine the QWL among the employees of the only national higher education university -University of The Gambia (UTG). Thus, our original contribution to research is that we examined an application of QWL in a context (i.e. UTG) that has not existed in extant literature. Summary of the results indicates that interestingly four aspects of QWL stand in employees' evaluation as "moderateto-high" motivators: (1) relations and co-operations, (2) autonomy of work, (3) organizational culture and (4) working climate. However, to "moderate-to-low" level of motivation with QWL aspects has been reported (1) job satisfaction and job security, (2) training and development, (3) work environment, (4) adequacy of resources, (5) compensation and rewards, and (6) facilities. These results are indeed critical to human resources development planning of the UTG. Also, results confirm the multidisciplinary and multisectoral nature of QWL and the managerial implications are thus unique to the case under study.
