This paper examines the relationship between commitment to Quality of Life and firm size, profitability and industry. Mission statements were content analyzed for Day’s (1987) societal QOL goals and Maslow’s hierarchy. Including firms from Forbes Best Small Businesses and the Fortune 200 insured firm size diversity.Findings include significant (a=.05) relationships between firm size and several Maslow’s criteria. ROE is positively correlated (a=.05) with workforce well being, supporting literature regarding internal marketing. Industry effects suggest that financial services often include societal goals in mission statements, while ecological and safety goals are frequently mentioned in mining, metals and construction.
