Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Quality of Work Life on Organizational Citizenship Behavior with Work Engagement as a mediating variable among employees of PT Nestle Indonesia Panjang Factory. This research uses a quantitative approach with causal analysis techniques and survey methods. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling, selecting participants based on specific criteria aligned with the research objectives. The population in this study is employees of PT Nestle Indonesia Panjang Factory, with a sample size of 125 respondents. Data are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS software. The results of the study indicate that Quality of Work Life does not directly affect Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Meanwhile, Work Engagement was found to significantly mediate the relationship between Quality of Work Life and Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
