In our study we compare the EC definition with the academic one and try to see how close they are. We also analyse the possibility of applying the institutional definition to the Spanish case through the development of specific indicators. Our main conclusions are that QWL is increasingly important for policy makers. In addition, it is essential to have objective indicators and to conduct surveys in order to reliably measure QWL.15 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Royuela Mora et al., 2007http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/Qualitat de vida en el treballProductivitatPolítica d'ocupacióCentres d'investigacióUniversitatsInvestigadorsQuality of work lifeProductivityManpower policyResearch institutesUniversitiesResearch workersinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper2015-03-03info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
