CHAPTER - IINTRODUCTION

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.

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 approach2) Psychological approach3) 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".

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".

Page 4: Project Report on Employee Morale

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.

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 employee’s interest in their job and organization. 6. Pribe in the organization7. 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 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: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

Page 5: Project Report on Employee Morale

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 employees 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.

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 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.

Page 6: Project Report on Employee 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: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 can not measured how much it increased or in creased.

BUILDING OF HIGH MORALEIn 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 with out 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.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:

Page 7: Project Report on Employee Morale

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.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 some one 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.
