Morale refers to the attitude and overall satisfaction of an individual or group regarding their work or environment. It reflects how willing they are to work towards common goals. Motivation is more individualistic and explains why people behave certain ways, while morale is broader and considers total interactions within a group. Factors like job security, satisfaction, culture and management style influence morale. Low morale symptoms include absenteeism, turnover and poor relationships, while high morale is indicated by commitment, citizenship and cooperation. To boost morale, managers should motivate through example, communicate clearly, enrich jobs, challenge employees, involve them, acknowledge contributions and show care.
