    CHAPTER - I

    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    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 coworkers. Poor or low Morale becomes obvious

    from the negative feelings of employees such as dissatisfaction, discouragement

    or dislike of the job.

    1.2 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 needs1

    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".

    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".

    1.3 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

    is no less important for an industrial undertaking. The success of failure of the

    industry much depends up on the Morale of its employees.

    1.4 Types of Morale:

    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. Pride in the organization

    7. Reduction in absenteeism and labour turnover.

    8. Reduction in grievance.

    9. Reduction in industrial conflict.

    10. Team building.

    11. Employee empowerment.

    II. Low Morale:

    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 aredepressed 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.

    4. Excessive Complaints and Grievances.

    5. Frustration among the workers.

    6. Lack of discipline.

    7. Increase errors, accidents or injuries.

    1.5 FACTORS AFFECTING MORALE:

    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 highly 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.

    4

  • 8/2/2019 Aligned Copy of Employee Morale

    5/42

    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 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.5

    1.6 MEASUREMENT OF MORALE

    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 behavior, altitude, sentiments and feelings, which have developed in them.

    The changes in the attitude and behavior 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. Counseling:

    6

  • 8/2/2019 Aligned Copy of Employee Morale

    7/42

    Under this method employees are advised to develop better mental health.

    So that they can imbide 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 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.

    1.7 BUILDING OF HIGH MORALE

    7

  • 8/2/2019 Aligned Copy of Employee Morale

    8/42

    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 policies 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 walkers.

    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.8

  • 8/2/2019 Aligned Copy of Employee Morale

    9/42

    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 etc

    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.

    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 into9

  • 8/2/2019 Aligned Copy of Employee Morale

    10/42

    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

    behavior serve as very strong methods of improving productivity self worth and

    morale.

    CHAPTER- II

    COMPANY PROFILE

    10

  • 8/2/2019 Aligned Copy of Employee Morale

    11/42

    The origin of Ashok Leyland can be traced to the urge for self-reliance, felt

    by independent India. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister

    persuaded Mr. Raghunandan Saran, an industrialist, to enter automotive

    manufacture. In 1948, Ashok Motors was set up in what was then Madras, for the

    assembly of Austin Cars. The Company's destiny and name changed soon with

    equity participation by British Leyland and Ashok Leyland commenced

    manufacture of commercial vehicles in 1955.

    Since then Ashok Leyland has been a major presence in India's commercial

    vehicle industry with a tradition of technological leadership, achieved through tie-

    ups with international technology leaders and through vigorous in-house R&D.

    Access to international technology enabled the Company to set a tradition to

    be first with technology. Be it full air brakes, power steering or rear engine

    busses, Ashok Leyland pioneered all these concepts. Responding to the operating

    conditions and practices in the country, the Company made its vehicles strong,

    over-engineering them with extra metallic muscles. "Designing durable products

    that make economic sense to the consumer, using appropriate technology",

    became the design philosophy of the Company, which in turn has moulded

    consumer attitudes and the brand personality.

    In the populous Indian metros, four out of the five State Transport

    Undertaking (STU) buses come from Ashok Leyland. Some of them like the

    double-decker and vestibule buses are unique models from Ashok Leyland, tailor-

    made for high-density routes.

    11

    In 1987, the overseas holding by Land Rover Leyland International

    Holdings Limited (LRLIH) was taken over by a joint venture between the

    Hinduja Group, the Non-Resident Indian transnational group and IVECO. (Since

    July 2006, the Hinduja Group is 100% holder of LRLIH).

    The blueprint prepared for the future reflected the global ambitions of the

    company, captured in four words: Global Standards, Global Markets. This was at

    a time when liberalization and globalization were not yet in the air. Ashok

    Leyland embarked on a major product and process up gradation to match world-

    class standards of technology.

    In the journey towards global standards of quality, Ashok Leyland reached

    a major milestone in 1993 when it became the first in India's automobile history

    to win the ISO 9002 certification. The more comprehensive ISO 9001

    certification came in 1994, QS 9000 in 1998 and ISO 14001 certification for all

    vehicle manufacturing units in 2002. It has also become the first Indian auto

    company to receive the latest ISO/TS 16949 Corporate Certification (in July

    2006) which is specific to the auto industry.

    Ashok Leyland has seven manufacturing plants - the mother plant at

    Ennore near Chennai, three plants at Hosur (called Hosur I and Hosur II, along

    with a Press shop), the assembly plants at Alwar, Bhandara and state-of-the-art

    facility at Pantnagar. The total covered spaces at these seven plants exceeds

    650,000 sq m and together employ over 11,500 personnel.
