The equation predicting of the quality of working life in personnel with 79% predictive power could be written as the follows: Y = .878 + .220 Progress and development (X10) + .194 Warmth and support (X9) + .137 Control (X11) +.117 Opportunities for participating with others (X5) + .097 Reward (X8). The standard scores form: Z = .329 (Z10) + .260 (Z9) + .197 (Z11) + .151 (Z5) + .156 (Z8).
