Abstract

This work aims to test the Walton Model based on the perception of quality of life (QWL) of elderly employees of the state government of Amazonas. Furthermore, the model's predictive capacity to explain the satisfaction of public servants with QWL will also be analyzed. This research presents a quantitative approach in which the questionnaire represents the eight dimensions of Walton's model. Data collection occurred electronically by sending the Google Forms link to all state elderly servers. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that the dimensions of the Walton Model that most impact the overall QWL perceived by state government employees are balance, work relevance, and professional growth, respectively. On the other hand, social integration negatively impacts general QWL. Furthermore, it was found that the Walton Model can explain more than 73% of the overall QWL. The main theoretical contributions of this work fall on the test of the nomological validity of Walton's model, on the study that addresses elderly public servants who are little studied and presents specific and pertinent considerations on the support and rejection of the hypotheses that represent the eight dimensions of the Walton model.
