AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF WELFARE MEASURE ACTIVITIES ON GARMENT INDUSTRY EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The textile sector is renowned for its rigorous work environment, which can have a substantial effect on employee productivity and welfare. Organisations have placed greater emphasis on implementing welfare measure actions in order to improve productivity and job satisfaction. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of welfare initiatives on employee performance in the garment sector. An extensive literature analysis was undertaken to have a thorough understanding of the current research on welfare measures and their influence on employee performance. The study employed a quantitative methodology for data collection. A stratified random sampling method was employed to choose a sample of 306 individuals working in the clothing business. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings demonstrated a direct and favourable relationship between the engagement in welfare measure activities and the performance of employees. Employees who had greater exposure to welfare initiatives reported heightened job satisfaction, reduced absenteeism rates, and elevated levels of organisational engagement. The most efficacious statutory welfare measures encompassed the provision of health and wellness benefits, non-statutory welfare programmes, chances for labour welfare to enhance skill development, and activities aimed at enhancing work-life balance.
