摘要：
A mixed method approach was designed to investigate the impact of quality of work life on life satisfaction for seafarers. For the quantitative phase, data were collected from 521 seafarers who were sailing and also those who were vacationing. The study continued in the second phase by following up with seven selected participants to investigate the results from the quantitative phase. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques like exploratory factor analysis, correlation, regression and ANOVA. The quality of work life of seafarers was found to be closely connected to life satisfaction in varied ways through recognition from the organizations, work life balance and recreational facilities. Ranks of the participants were influencers for satisfaction, whereas marital status results were indifferent for satisfaction. The findings of the study have implications for policy decisions, training and practice for shipping companies.
