The success of any organization requires a skilled, competent, and satisfied workforce. If the workforce can be provided with the necessary components to ensure a high quality of working life, they will become permanent assets. Various factors undoubtedly affect the quality of workers' work lives. This study aims to investigate the drivers of the quality of work life in industrial labour force in a developing country, Bangladesh. It enumerated the elements that have an impact on industrial labour force’s quality of work life (QWL). A structured questionnaire was administered to 420 Bangladeshi workers across diverse industries, yielding a commendable response rate of 93.33%. The collected data underwent analysis employing the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. Representative industries and respondents were chosen by random selection. The results revealed that work environment, organizational culture and climate, relationships and cooperation, compensation and rewards, adequacy of resources, autonomy of work, job satisfaction, and security are directly related to the QWL. Training and development, and facilities do not significantly affect QWL. The research results can be used to improve the quality of work life for those working in the industrial sector. An industry may accomplish long-term and short-term goals by maintaining a pleasant workforce. The study's findings will provide policymakers and regulatory authorities of Bangladesh's industrial sector with strategic references and strategies to boost industrial productivity and economic growth for sustainable development by ensuring industrial employees' quality of work life that can serve as a template for Bangladesh.

Purpose The primary objective of this research is to investigate and elaborate on the relationship between leadership behaviour and firm performance in the context of Bangladesh RMG (Ready-Made Garments) firms. The study aimed to contribute to the existing literature by exploring the role of leadership behaviour in the competitive advantage process, addressing gaps in understanding within the RMG industry. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employs a mixed-method approach, incorporating qualitative and quantitative research methods. The conceptual model is developed through an extensive literature review and subsequently tested, refined, and validated. The empirical analysis involves 400 target respondents, and data is processed using PLS structural equation modelling principles. This includes structural path analysis, hypothesis testing, mediation, and moderation analyses. Findings: Empirical findings align with the resource-based view, confirming that Leadership Behaviours are intangible resources. Furthermore, the study identifies relationship-oriented behaviour as the most significant influence on the relationship between leadership behaviour and firm performance. Originality: This research delves into the Resource View's black box in firms. It establishes Dynamic Capabilities as a theoretically well-founded and valuable construct for understanding the leadership behaviour of strategic management. Practical Implications: providing insights into how leadership behaviour can impact firm performance. Identifying Relation Behaviours as particularly influential suggests that fostering positive relationships within the organisation may be a key strategy for leaders to enhance overall performance. Social Implications: the findings may have implications for workplace relationships, employee satisfaction, and potentially broader societal aspects influenced by the performance of RMG firms.
