Morale refers to an employee's attitude towards their job, supervisor, and organization. It can range from very high to very low and is affected by factors like job satisfaction, treatment from management, workload, and relationships with coworkers. High morale leads to benefits like increased commitment, loyalty, and productivity while lowering absenteeism and turnover. Morale and productivity have a complex relationship, with high or low levels of both being possible depending on whether individual and group goals are met. Maintaining high morale involves preventative measures like job enrichment and flexible hours, as well as remedial actions when issues arise like clarifying executive responsibilities and focusing on employee-oriented policies and leadership.

Theories of Motivation in Organizational BehaviorMasum Hussain
Most employers today would like to have their employee’s motivated and ready to work, but do not understand what truly motivates a person. Companies could be more efficient if the employees had an invested interest in the future of the company. There are essential needs to be met for a person, specifically an employee, to succeed in the workplace. I will examine different theories of motivations, how they are relevant to the workplace, and how employers can implement the theories to ensure happy and motivated employees.
Human behaviour is as much a reflection of the differences between individuals as it is a reflection of their similarities. These individual differences are caused by a number of influences and characteristics. For example, personality traits focus on individual differences that make each person a unique human being. Our biological make-up concentrates on how we function as a result of our evolution and human inheritance. Our behaviour is largely influenced by the system of rewards and punishments that are present in our environment. Our cognitive approach focuses on how our thinking and memory affects our behaviour. The fact that we are here at this time with immediate influences, and the ability to express a free will, may present the greatest influence of all.
It broadly addresses the topic of employee relations and work motivation. It examined theories and models of motivation that strive to answer the question of what motivates and how is motivation harnessed. At the individual level of analysis, there is a plethora of different approaches, most of which have some conceptual viability, empirical support and practical use. A critical task for future thinking and research is to integrate findings from diverse sources in order to be able to produce a more coherent view of motivation, its content and mechanisms.
Any theories about motivation can be contradicted since these theories have many exceptions. It is important that these theories are considered general statements that have been confirmed through observational studies and are applicable only to the extent that they reflect and are influenced by individual behaviour. We might ask: “Why should we even pursue these topics if there are so many inconsistencies, exceptions, and variables that affect conclusions?”. If we are searching for scientific evidence that is universally applicable, we may be wasting our time, but if our goal is to better understand human behaviour and its impacts on personal performance, the insights gained from such theories and studies are invaluable.

Organizational Climate
Refers to meaningful interpretations of a work environment by the people in it. Organizational Climate is often referred to as Corporate Climate. Organization development (OD) is the study of successful organizational change and performance. organization Culture provides a sense of identity to members and increases their commitment to the organization. Separation of an employee exists when the service agreement between the employee and employer comes to an end and employees decides to leave organization. Career development is the series of activities or the on-going/lifelong process of developing one’s career.
2. MORALE
• Morale is purely emotional.
• Morale is an attitude of an employee towards
his job, his superior, his organisation, etc..
• Morale may range from very high to very low.
• It is not a static thing.
3. DEFINITION
• Edwin B. Flippo defines it as “a mental
condition or attitude of individuals and
groups, which determines their willingness to
co-operate.
GOOD MORALE AND POOR MORALE
4.
5. IMPORTANCE OF MORALE
It plays an vital role in the organisation’s
Success. High morale keeps the employees loyal
to the job, profession and organisation.
6. MORALE RESULTS IN:

grievances

7. INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP MORALE
INDIVIDUAL MORALE
• It is a single person’s
attitude towards life
• It is related with knowing
one’s own expectations and
living up to them.
• If one is clear of his own
needs and know how to
satisfy that need then, his
morale is high.
GROUP MORALE
• It reflects the general
“esprit de corps”(a state of
well- being and an
emotional force ) of a
collective group of
personalities.
• It must be practiced
continuously .
• It cannot be ultimately
achieved because, it is
constantly changing.
8. FACTORS AFFECTING MORALE
Roach determined that 12 factors affecting morale:
General worker’s attitude towards the company
General worker’s attitude towards the supervisor
The level of satisfaction with job standards
The level of consideration the supervisor shows
to his subordinates.
The workload and the work pressure level
The treatment of individuals by the management
9. CONT........
The level of worker’s pride in company& its activities.
The level of worker’s satisfaction with salaries .
Worker’s reactions to the formal communication
network in organisation.
Intrinsic job satisfaction level of the workers.
Worker satisfaction with the progress and
opportunities for further progression.
The worker’s attitude towards fellow workers.
11. (1)OBSERVATION:
A keen observation of employees behaviour, talk,
gestures should help the manager to identify any
change in the level of morale. On identifying this, the
manager should immediately think of a remedial action
in order to restore the morale at its previous level.
13. (3)COMPANY RECORDS AND REPORTS
• Certain reports from the personnel
department provides the information about
labour turnover, rate of absenteeism, no of
workers grievances, strikes, etc..
14. MORALE AND PRODUCTIVITY
On the basis of several research studies, Miller
and Form have given four combinations of
productivity and morale.
15. (1)HIGH MORALE-HIGH
PRODUCTIVITY
o When group goals are satisfied and individual
goals including freedom of work, salary, etc.
are satisfied, which will lead to motivation of
the employees, so standard of performance
will be high, which in turn leads to high
productivity and vice versa.
16. (2)LOW PRODUCTIVITY-HIGH
MORALE
o Though the individual goals rather than
causing high productivity like pleasant fellow
workers, good working conditions, etc.. are
satisfied, where supervisors lack technical &
administrative skills, which leads to low
productivity of high morale group & where
workers lack adequate skills or training leading
to low productivity by high morale.
17. (3)HIGH PRODUCTIVITY-LOW
MORALE
Supervisor is only able to increase high
productivity through his skills or planning
ability rather than through motivation
He practices penalty method to give rise to
high productivity.
18. (4)LOW PRODUCTIVITY-LOW MORALE
Where group goals and individual goals did
not get satisfied.
It will thus be observed that there is a
complexity of relationship between morale
and productivity.
19. WARNING SIGNS OF LOW MORALE
High rate of absenteeism
Tardiness
High labour turnover
Strikes and sabotage
Lack of pride in work
Wastage and spoilage
20. MAINTENANCE OF MORALE
If the management feels that there is a need for
maintenance and improvement of morale, there
are two ways:
(1) preventive measures.
(2) remedial measures.
21. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
a) CREATION OF WHOLE JOB:
Assigning the whole job to a single worker with
a view to satisfy his need for achievement.
b)JOB ENRICHMENT:
Designing the vertical slice of the tasks into a job
and assigning it to an employee satisfy his need
for recognition, responsibility, growth, etc..
22. Cont.....
c)MODIFYING THE WORK ENVIRONMENT:
Creating and providing conclusive and
challenging work environment.
d)FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS:
Development of HRM & flexible working hours
provide freedom to the worker.
23. IMPROVEMENT OF MORALE
Firstly, it must be decided that a particular
person who is responsible for the execution of
the plan.
Each executive should be told, in writing, what
he should do to improve the general morale of
the employees.
Specific morale duties should be outlined for
every executive.
24. Cont...
Mangers can concentrate on supervisory
styles, company policies, working conditions
and other factors external to and out of the
control of the work to see that such factors
are employee-oriented. leadership styles that
support the worker and encourage him may
be applied.
