    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Employee Morale refers to an attitude of satisfaction with a desire to continue and

    strive for attaining the objectives of a factory. Morale is purely emotional. It is an attitude

    of an employee towards his job, his superior and his organization. It is not static thing, but

    it changes depending on working conditions, superiors, fellow workers pay and so on.

    Morale is a fundamental psychological concept. It is not easy to define. Morale is the

    degree of enthusiasm and willingness with which the members of a group pull together to

    achieve group goal.

    Morale may range from very high to very low. High Morale is evident from the

    positive feelings of employees such as enthusiasm, desire to obey orders, willingness to co-

    operate with coworkers. Poor or low Morale becomes obvious from the negative feelings of

    employees such as dissatisfaction, discouragement or dislike of the job.

    Introduction of Morale

    Employee Morale refers to an attitude of satisfaction with a desire to continue and strive for

    attaining the objectives of a factory. Morale is purely emotional. It is an attitude of an

    employee towards his job, his superior and his organization. It is not static thing, but it

    changes depending on working conditions, superiors, fellow workers pay and so on.

    Morale may range from very high to very low. High Morale is evident from the positive

    feelings of employees such as enthusiasm, desire to obey orders, willingness to co-operate

    with co-workers. Poor or low Morale becomes obvious from the negative feelings of

    employees such as dissatisfaction, discouragement or dislike of the job.

    Definitions:

    Morale is a fundamental psychological concept. It is not easy to define. Morale is the degree

    of enthusiasm and willingness with which the members of a group pull together to achieve

    group goal. It has been defined differently by different authors. Different definition of Morale

    can be classified into three major approaches.

    1) Classical approach

    2) Psychological approach

    3) Social approach

    1. Classical approach: According to this approach the satisfaction of basic needs is the

    symbol of Morale. According to Robert M. Guion "Morale is defined as the extent to which

    the individual perceives that satisfaction stemming from total job satisfaction".

    8/53

    2. Psychological Approach: According to this approach Morale is psychological concept

    i.e., state of mind. According to Jurious Fillipo Morale is a mental condition or attitude of

    individual and groups which determines their willingness to cooperate".

    3. Social Approach: According to some experts Morale is a social phenomenon.

    According to Davis "Morale can be defined as the attitudes of individual and groups towards

    their work environment and towards voluntary cooperation to the full extent of their ability in

    the best interest at the organization".

    Importance of Employee Morale:

    Employee Morale plays vital role in the origination success. High Morale leads to success

    and low Morale brings to defeat in its wake. The plays of Morale are no less important for an

    industrial undertaking. The success of failure of the industry much depends up on the Morale

    of its employees.

    Types of Morale:

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    9/53

    I. High Morale:

    It will lead to enthusiasm among the workers for better performance. High Morale is needed a

    manifestation of the employees strength, dependability pride, confidence and devotion. Some

    of the advantages of high Morale such as:

    1. Willing cooperation towards objectives of the organization.

    2. Loyalty to the organization and its leadership.

    3. Good Leadership.

    4. Sound superior subordinate relations.

    5. High degree of employees interest in their job and organization.

    6. Reduction in absenteeism and labour turnover.

    7. Reduction in grievance.

    8. Reduction in industrial conflict.

    9. Team building.

    10. Employee empowerment.

    II. Low Morale:

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    10/53

    Low Morale indicates the presence of mental unrest. The mental unrest not only hampers

    production but also leads to ill health of the employees. Low Morale exists when doubt in

    suspicion are common and when individuals are depressed and discouraged i.e., there is a lot

    of mental tension. Such situation will have the following adverse consequences.

    1. High rates of absenteeism and labour turnover.

    2. Decreased quality.

    3. Decreased Productivity.

    4. Excessive Complaints and Grievances.

    5. Frustration among the workers.

    6. Lack of discipline.

    7. Increase errors, accidents or injuries.

    FACTORS AFFECTING MORALE:

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    11/53

    Employee Morale is a very complex phenomenon and is influenced by many factors on the

    shop floor. Several criteria seem important in the determinants of levels of workers Morale

    such as:

    1. Objectives of the organization: Employees are highly motivated and their Morale is high

    if their individual goal and objectives are in tune with organizational goal and objectives.

    2. Organizational design: Organization structure has an impact on the quality of labour

    relation, particularly on the level of Morale. Large organization tend to lengthen their

    channels of vertical communication and to increase the difficulty of upward communication.

    Therefore the Morale tends to be lower. Against this flat structure increases levels of Morale.

    3. Personal Factors: It is relating to age, training, education and intelligence of the

    employees, time spent by them on the job and interest in worth taken by them, affect the

    Morale of the employees. For examples if an employee is not imparted proper training he will

    have low Morale.

    4. Rewards: Employees expect adequate compensation for their services rendered to the

    organization. Good system of wages, salaries, promotions and other incentives keep the

    Morale of the employees high.

    5. Good Leadership and Supervision: The nature of supervision can tell the attitudes of

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    12/53

    employees because a supervisor is in direct contact with the employers and can have better

    influences on the activities of the employees.

    6. Work Environment: The building and it appearance the condition of machines, tools,

    available at work place provision for safety, medical aid and repairs to machinery etc. all

    have an impact on their Morale.

    7. Compatibility with fellow employees: Man being a social animal finds his words more

    satisfying if he feels that he has the acceptance and companionship of his fellow workers. If

    he has confidence in his fellow worker and faith in their loyalty his Morale will be high.

    8. Job Satisfaction: If the job gives an employee an opportunity to prove his talents and

    grow personality, he will certify like it and he will have high morale.

    9. Opportunity to share profit: one of the requirements of high morale is possibility and

    opportunity of progress in any concern. All worker should be given an opportunity of the

    progress and earn high wages without any discrimination.

    MEASUREMENT OF MORALE

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    13/53

    Morale is basically a psychological concept. As such the measurement of morale is a very

    difficult task to measure it directly. However the following methods are more commonly used

    to study employee morale.

    1. Observation Method: Under this method evaluator observes the employees on work and

    records their behaviour, altitude, sentiments and feelings, which have developed in them. The

    changes in the attitude and behaviour of the employee are the indicators of high and low

    morale.

    2. Attitude Surveys: In order to overcome the limitation of the above method attitude survey

    method is being largely employed in modern days. This method includes conducting surveys

    through questionnaires and interviews. This relates what the workers are looking in and what

    step should be taken to improve their approach towards work.

    3. Company Records and Reports: The records and reports relating to Labour turnover, rate

    of absenteeism, the number of goods rejected, strikes and such other things, which are

    indicators of the level of morale.

    4. Counselling: Under this method employees are advised to develop better mental health. So

    that they can imbibe self confidence, understanding and self control. This method is used to

    find out the causes of dissatisfaction and then to advice the employees by way of remedial

    measures.

    The above methods of the measurement of the employees present only the tendencies or the

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    14/53

    attitude of the employee morale. The statistical measurement of morale is not possible

    because it relates to the inner feelings human beings. We can say that morale is increasing or

    decreasing, but cannot measured how much it increased or decreased.

    BUILDING OF HIGH MORALE

    In order to achieve high morale among the employees the following suggestion may be

    followed.

    1. Two-Way Communication:- There should be a two-way communication between

    the management and the workers as if exercises a profound influences on morale. The

    workers should be kept informed about the organization polices and programmes through

    conferences, bulletins and informal discussions with the workers.

    2. Show Concern:- Large or small every business should have names on desks work

    stations or cubicles to show that a real person, with worth, works there not just a

    machine. Next ask their opinion whenever an opportunity arises rather than always

    telling them what to do or the way to do it. This allows employees to add their own

    creative thoughts to the work process, which then can lead to more of a feeling of

    ownership. Finally ask how they are without wanting to know deeply personal data

    the boss can easily show on interest in the individual workers.

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    15/53

    3. Job Enrichment:-This involves a greater use of the factors which are intended to

    motive the worker rather than to ensure his continuing satisfaction with the job he performs

    the idea is to reduce employee discontent by changing or improving a job to ensure that he is

    better motivated.

    4. Modifying the work environment:- This involves the use of teams of work

    groups developing social contacts of the employees the use of music regular rest

    breaks.

    5. Rotation of Jobs: This is also one of important techniques to increase employee

    morale. Job rotation helps to reduce an employee's boredom.

    6. Incentive System: There should be a proper incentive system in the organization to

    ensure monetary and non-monetary rewards of the employees to motivate them.

    7. Welfare Measures: Management must provide for employees welfare measures

    like canteens credit facilities sport clubs, education for their children e.t.c

    8. Social Activities: Management should encourage social group activities by the

    workers. This will help to develop greater group cohesiveness which can be used by

    the management for building high morale.

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Morale Wrt Kanara Wood and Ply

    16/53

    9. Training: There should be proper training of the employees so that they may do

    their work efficiently and avoid frustration when the worker are given training they

    get psychological satisfaction as they feel that management is taking interest in them.

    10. Workers Participation: There should be industrial democracy in the organization

    management should allow workers participation in management. Whenever a change

    to be introduced which effects the workers they must be consulted and taken into

    confidence workers must be allowed to put forward their suggestion and grievance to

    the top management.

    11. Offers recognition of the employee efforts: It takes but a few seconds to say

    "Nice Job" "Well done", "Marked improvement", "You 're' on the right road" or any

    number of other phrases that communicate to the employee that you care about the job

    and about them and that you recognize an improvement in productivity. Also,

    employees can be given performance awards or have their name mentioned at staff

    meetings, posted on a notice boards or in employee inter office E-mail to say that

    someone did a note monthly Job. All of these simple modes of painting out individual

    team or group behaviour serve as very strong methods of improving productivity self

    worth and morale.
