Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to study the essence of the quality of working life as a method of managing a company; comparison of the quality of working life in Ukraine and South Korea; coverage of modern approaches to its development. As a result of the study, it is emphasized that the quality of working life, as a method of managing a company, is aimed at designing and creating a comfortable working environment for employees at all levels. The quality of working life is associated not only with satisfied employees, but also with the best business results. The latter are associated with the intellectual capabilities of employees. When the quality of work and life is stable, productivity surely will be increased, too. A comparison of approaches to the quality of working life in Ukraine and South Korea is made, allowing to conclude about the common and the different. It is defined that a very big difference lies in the attitude of personnel to work and etiquette rules between the staff in Ukraine and in South Korea. Korea has the highest rate of aging population among countries that are members of the OECD. At the same time, not only employees need to change, but also employers should develop a holistic well-being strategy for the future. Not taking this into account in the country’s social policy will slow economic growth, exacerbate inequality and weaken welfare, and call into question the sustainability of public finances and social well-being. The standard of quality of working life at Korean enterprises is supported by laws. Domestic employers, as a rule, introduce disparate and unsystematic measures that meet only the current needs of employees. It is determined that the COVID-19 crisis has provoked increased attention to the protection of the most vulnerable workers. It is concluded that the development of social protection of the population has contributed to a more gradual transition from the protection of jobs to the protection of workers, which, together with the enhanced active policy of the labor market, supports employment and productivity growth. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the degree of influence of mental and physical health of an individual on the quality of working life.

Keywords: quality of working life, social environment, quality of management, company strategy.
