This paper comparatively analyzes the performance of QWL(Quality of Working life) programs in four industrial complexes. These programs include various investment projects implemented by the central and local governments and private companies as well. To analyze the QWL performance quantitatively, we develop the new industrial complex competitiveness index by adding the QWL index to the industrial complex activity index, and compare calculated indices between two periods, before and after the QWL programs. First, growth rates in the QWL indices and industrial complex activity indices after the QWL programs are implemented are found to be higher than those before the programs. These imply that the QWL programs can positively affect industrial complex activities. Next, the results show that the QWL programs can be positively associated with industrial complex indices, implying that the government QWL programs to enhance industrial complex competitiveness could be successful in part.
