Morale

By Edwin B. Flippo

“It is a mental condition or attitude of individuals and group which determine their willingness to cooperate. Good morale is evidenced by employee enthusiasm, voluntary conformance with regulations and orders, and a willingness to cooperate with others in the accomplishment of an organization’s objectives. Poor morale is evidenced by surliness, insubordination, a feeling of discouragement and dislike of the job, company, and associates.”
