INTRODUCTION
Morale is a complex and psychological concept. It can be explained or defined in different ways. The dictionary meaning of morale is trust, interest and good thinking towards the work. Morale is a very widely used term. It generally refers to esprit de corps, a feeling of enthusiasm, zeal, confidence in individuals or groups that they will be able to cope with the tasks assigned to them. A person's enthusiasm for his job reflects this attitude of mind to work, environment and to his employer, and his willingness to strive for the goals set for him by the organisation in which he is employed. Morale is a synthesis of an employer's diverse reaction to and feelings for his job, his working conditions. His superiors, his organisation, his fellowworkers, his pay and so on. Feelings, emotions, sentiments, attitudes and motives-all these combine and lead to a particular type of behaviors on the part of an individual or his groups and this is what is referred to as employee or group morale. An organization is set up with the purpose of achieving certain objectives. Objectives can be achieved only when the organization is put to the best use. This calls for efficient management. The function of management is to coordinate the various factors in such a manner that they can contribute their maximum towards the common objective. Industrial progress of a country depends on its committed employee. It has an important role in the industrial production of a country. It is necessary to seek the cooperation of the employee force in order to increase the production and to earn higher profits. The cooperation of employees is possible only when they are fully satisfied with their employers and the working conditions of the job. In the past, management was concerned mainly with the purpose of proper use of physical factors like material and machine. Little, if any, attention was ever paid to the human factor on which the utilization of physical factor depended. Machines may be worked with their maximum speed but the output can be maximized only when the employees work willingly. If we somehow motivate the employees, the output can be raised still higher with the same type of materials and machines. All other resources can be better utilized but they can never have an output greater then the sum of inputs of man alone. Earlier industrialists and managers believed that wages were the only source of satisfaction for the employees. But now a days they want much more than this. They require good human treatment which is very essential to seek the cooperation of the employees. In this regard the importance of employee Welfare was recognised in 1931, when the Royal commission on employee started that the benefits which go under this nomenclature are of great importance to employee
who is unable to secure by himself. The scheme of employee welfare may be regarded a wise investment which should and usually does bring a profitable return in the forms of greater efficiency. For this purpose the employees should at least have the means and facilities to keep him in a state of good health and efficiency. The working conditions should be such as to safeguard his health and protect him against occupational hazards. The work place should provide reasonable amenities for his essential needs. The employee should also be equipped with the necessary technical training and a certain level of general education and positive concept. The positive nature calls for the setting up of the minimum desirable standards necessary for certain components of welfare, such as health, food, clothing, housing, medical assistance ,insurance, education, recreation and so on.
MEANING OF MORALE
Flippo has described morale, ''As a mental condition or attitude of individuals and groups which determines their willingness to cooperate. Good morale is evidence by enthusiasm, voluntary confirmation with regulation and orders, and a willingness to cooperate with others in the accomplishment of an organisation's objectives. Poor morale is evidence by surliness, insubordination, a feeling of discouragement and dislike of the job, company and associates. In the word of Yoder, Morale is a feeling, somewhat related to espirit de-corps, enthusiasm or zeal. For group of workers, morale, according to a popular usage of the word, refers to the over all tone, climate or atmosphere of work, perhaps vaguely sensed by the members. According to Prof. Jucius, morale consist of: what is it? What does it do? Where does it reside? Whom does it affect? and what does it affect? He answer his own question as: What is it ? It is an attitude of mind. An espirit de-corps, a state of will being and an emotional force. What does it do? It affects output, the quality of a product, costs, co-operation, enthusiasm, discipline, initiative and other ingredients of success. Where does it reside? It resides in the minds and emotions of individuals and in the reactions of their group or groups. Where does it affect? It affects the employees and executives in their interactions. Ultimately it affects the consumers and the community.
DEFINITIONS OF MORALE
Morale has been variously defined by different authorities. Some of them are as following: According to Mooney, ''Morale is sum total of several psychic qualities which include courage, fortitude, resolution and above all, confidence.'' The Haimann says: It is a state of mind and emotions affecting the attitude and willingness to work which, in turn, affect individual and organisational objectives. Davis observes: Organisational morale is basically a mental condition of groups and individuals which determines their attitude In the opinion of Kahn and Katz, Morale is a combination of attitude towards the company, job and the immediate supervisor. According to Jucius, Morale is a state of mind or of a willingness to work which, in turn affects individuals and organisational objectives.

those who lack self confidence or suffer from poor physical or mental health. Workers Perception of Rewards System. The workers perception of past rewards and future opportunities for rewards affect their morale to a substantial extent. If the workers regard the rewards as fair and satisfactory, direction. Moreover, if the rewards and opportunities for the future tend to be bleak, morale will tend to be low as compared to the situation where the worker perceiver opportunities for satisfaction and for attainment in the rewards that lie ahead in the future. The Employees Age. Studies have reported that age and morale are directly related. Other things being equal, elder employees seem to have higher morale. This is because of the reason that perhaps younger workers are more dissatisfied with higher expectations than their elders. The older employees have more stability which comes with maturity, a serious attitude towards job, more reliability, less absenteeism, proven steady work habits, a sense of responsibility and loyalty and less tendency to be distracted by outside interest as influences. The Employees Educational Level. Studies have concluded an inverse relationship in the educational level of the employee and his morale. Higher the educational level lower will be the job satisfaction and vice versa. The higher he thinks he should be, the more dissatisfied he will be. The Employees Occupational Level. The occupational level of the employee also influences his level of morale. The higher up in organisational hierarchy an employee is, higher will be his morale. The morale of the people who are lower in the levels of hierarchy is generally low, because they compare their own attainments with those of others. The Off the Job Activities of the Employee. The relationship of an employer with his family and work group influences his behaviour and attitude while he is on the job. His off the job activities e.g. whether his family life is happy or not, whether he has excessive drinking habits etc. The influences and pressures of a formal and informal group have a significant effect on the morale of workers.
Employee morale is a very complex phenomenon and is influenced by many factors, which are following: Physical factors Psychological factors Others PHYSICAL FACTORS: Orgnisation's Reputation Feasibility of Goals
Nature of Work Working Conditions Position of Promotion Compensation or Wages and Salaries Methods of Distribution Salaries Share of Profits Remuneration According to Work: Fringe Benefits
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS: Praise Knowledge of success Fulfillment Of Collective Needs Forbearance and Good Behavior of Authorities Freedom of Worker Sense of Unity, Identity and Equality OTHERS:There are following others factors which also influence to the morale of employees:1. Employee's Age 2. Sex 3. The Employee Education and Occupational Level 4. Training 5. Employee's activities 6. Leadership 7. Industrial Relation or Mutual Relationships 8. Workers Participation in Management 9. Communication
TYPES OF MORALE
The morale can be classified into two parts: Favourable morale or high morale Unfavourable morale or low morale. Favourable Morale or High Morale:In the words of Mc Farland, High morale exists when employee attitudes are favourable to the total situation of a group and to the attainment of its objectives. The organisation is benefited due to these favourable feelings and attitudes. The efficiency of the organisation gets increased and it achieves its goals effectively. High morale is represented by the use of such terms as team spirit, zeal, enthusiasm, loyalty and resistance to frustration. The high morale results into the reduction of wastages, absenteeism, labour turnover. It generally indicates: Willing co-operation for the attainment of organisational objectives; Loyalty to the organisation and its leadership: Good discipline and orders; Strong organisational stamina or the ability of an organisation to "take it" during times of emergency; A high degree of employee interest in the job and in the organisation; A person with high morale performs his work devotion and dedication:Unfavourable Morale or Low Morale: Low morale exists when attitudes inhibit the willingness and ability of an organisation to attain its objectives. This takes place in the environment of mutual distrust and suspicion. It leads to mental tension. Low morale is described by such words and phrases as apathy, bickering jealousy, pessimism, laziness. Morale is depressed by: A too fine division of authority and responsibility; Too many supervisors; An improper selection of personnel for new or expended duties; Too few real executives. The low morale is very much fatal for the organisation because industrial relations are at their the lowest level. There may be any reason for the low morale, the ultimately loss to the organisation. Therefore, in the order to avoid the consequences of low morale a manager must raise the morale of his subordinates. For this a manager is required to have the complete knowledge about desires, needs, feelings, attitudes, perception, motivating tendency etc. of the subordinate employees. IMPORTANCE OF MORALE:
Morale is an important part of organisational environment. It is an essential element for the success of an organisation because it expresses the attitudes and feelings of employees towards policies, procedures and objectives of the organisation. These feelings and attitudes affect the productivity and level of job satisfaction of the employees. We may say that motivation, productivity and morale move together. Dale S. Beach observed while explaining the importance of morale "Morale is the toal work contentment or work satisfaction which an individual gets from his work, members of work-group, supervisor and work environment" According to Napolean, "In war, morale conditions make up three quarters of the game, the relative balance of manpower accounts for the remaining quarter."
THIRD, still others claim that there is no consistent relationship between morale and performance. Vroom found significant relationship between morale and performance in only 5 out of 22 studies undertaken by him. Thus, although it is different to say if morale and performance are related, some employees do indeed work harder when they are more satisfied- with their pay, with the job itself, with working conditions, etc. Contrary to this, there are some persons whose performance starts to decline because the "incentive" is gone. (i.e they are satisfied with enough security or enough pay or a good Job). Still there are some employees for whom morale and performance are more or less unrelated. METHODS OF MEASURING MORALE OR EVALUATING THE MORALE: Morale is essentially a subjective and an intangible phenomenon and therefore, a measurement or evaluation of the level of morale is realistically possible through such indicators as the attitudes, feelings, emotions or behaviors patterns of employee that may reflect a certain type of organisational climate prevailing at a particular time. The fact that the employees explicitly may complicate a proper and correct interpretation of their morale. Certain objective, explicit or articulate indicators of the levels of employee morale such as the extent of employee absenteeism and turnover, existence of interpersonal and interdepartmental conflicts etc. may also provide an understanding of employee morale. It is thus necessary that a properly designed programme of evaluating morale should be utilised by the organisation. The methods commonly used for measuring or evaluating employee morale include Observation Attitude or morale surveys Company Records and Reports Counselling Suggestion Box. (A) OBSERVATION:By this method, executives observe the behaviour of their employees, listen to them while they talk, and note their actions- the shrugging of shoulders, a change in facial expression a shuffling of feet, a nervous fluttering of hands, a change in work habits or avoidance of company. Any departure or deviation from the normal is likely to tell them that something is wrong and needs to be set right. Commenting on this method, Theo Haimann says: "The supervisor is in the best position to measure by observation the morale of his subordinates form day-to-day; but he must sharpen his
powers of observation and must not brush aside any worthwhile indicator. The serious short-coming of observation as a yardstick for measuring current morale is that activities and events indicate a change to lowered morale which has already occurred. The manager should, therefore, be extremely keen in his observation so that he may do as much as is possible to prevent such changes." (B) ATTITUDE OR MORAL SURVEYS: This method is generally used to discover the feeling of employees about their jobs, their supervisor, company policies or the organisation as a whole. It is classified into two categories-the interview method and questionnaire method. (i) The Interview Method: By this method, employees are interviewed so that a judgement may be arrived at about their feelings and opinions about the different aspects of their jobs and the company for which they work. An interview may be a face to-face affair; it may be oral; it may be in the form of an evaluation that is put down in writing. If interviews are to be relied upon , they must be employer-oriented. In this connection, Gillerman observes: The essential advantage of this method is its sensivity and comprehensiveness, while the main demerit is that it is uneconomical for use with larger groups and it is, to some extent, dependent on the interviewer's ability to classify and interpret his data." (ii) The Questionnaire Method:This method is generally used to collect employee opinions about the factors, which affect morale and their effect on personnel objectives. In this method information are collected through printed list of questions. For this certain scientific questionnaires are prepared that reveal the worker's opinions regarding various aspects of the industry, as well as towards the authorities. Employees are asked to fill in the questionnaires, when the questionnaires are received back after having been filled and duly completed by the workers, it becomes possible to see the various scores on which the workers have complained. If some particular object or subject is a matter of complaint in a large majority of cases, efforts can be made to rectify it. Success in this method depends upon the degree to which the questionnaires is scientific and upon the degree of truth in the worker's responses. Morale surveys are generally conducted with a view to: Finding out what employees really think; Finding out about the kind of education and information they need; Improving morale and keeping a check on the effectiveness of personnel programmes. Determining the training needs of employees. Finding out what employees really like
Attitude surveys may be used for subordinate and supervisory staff to determine employee reactions to such different subjects as employment tests wage rates and employee rating programmes. (C) COMPANY RECORDS AND REPORTS: These are usually prepared by the personnel department at regular intervals with the assistance of supervisors and department heads. The record and reports provide the following information: The number of workers who quit their jobs or are released every month or year in relation to the total work force-that is, labour turnover; The man-hours or man-days lost by employees who were absent from their jobs for various reasons; The number and kinds of worker grievances communicated to supervisors or other personnel, besides the suggestions received from employees for changes or improvement in company policies; The quantity and value of spoilt goods and rejects and the complaints of the customer resulting from the substandard quality of product because of carelessness on the part of workers; (D) COUNSELING: This method is used to find out the causes of the dissatisfaction of the employees and to take remedial action and offer advice on personal matters. According to Keith Davis, counseling aims at Providing advice to an employee on the cause of his dissatisfaction and rendering such assistance to him as may be called for in the circumstances ; Giving him reassurance and courage to face up to his problems; Assisting an employee in thinking clearly about his problem and Re orienting his basic goals and values. (E) SUGGESTION BOX : The suggestion box is installed in the organization and employees are asked to put their complaints grievances and suggestion in return form by their names. The employees under this method can express their feelings freely. This method is more reliable to evaluate the morale of the employee.
SIGNS OF HIGH MORALE Following are some of the significant signs of high morale of a group: A tendency for the group to hold together not merely as a result of external pressures but rather through internal cohensiveness. A lack of tendency of its members to divide into sub-groups. An ability of the group to adapt itself to changing circumstances and to handle internal conflicts. A feeling of belongingness and togetherness among the members of group. A commonness of goals among the members of the group. A passive attitude of the members with respect to the objectives of the group and to its leaders. A desire on the part of the members to retain the group and a regard for its positive value. IMPROVING OF MORALE Morale building is very important for an organisation. The manager should constantly make efforts to improve the morale of employees. Although it may be done either on individual basis or on group basis, the latter is always preferable. This is because, the management can easily influence the group morale by understanding the group dynamics, which in turn, can automatically achieve the individual morale. Following suggestion can help in improving the morale of employees: 1. Two Way Communication. There should be proper communication between management and employees. All policies and programme should be explained to the employees through downward communication. The feelings, reactions of f the employees should regularly reach management in an upward communication. The feed-back from employees will help the management in bringing required changes in policies etc. Twoway communication will help in improving the morale of employees. 2. Proper Incentive System. There should proper system for monetary and non-monetary benefits for the employees. The employees showing better performance should automatically be given incentives. There should be proper promotional awareness for employee who can undertake higher responsibilities. 3. Human Relations Approach. This approach suggests that employees should be treated as human beings. Their feelings and emotions should be given due weightage. There should not be any discrimination among employees and groups. The contribution of every employee to the organisation should be recognised and adequate incentives, rewards should be offered for higher performance.

Welfare Schemes. There should be proper welfare schemes for the employees and their families. There should be housing facilities, medical facilities, schools for the children, recreation facilities, social securities etc. all these measures will develop positive attitudes in employees, such schemes will also show managements concern for the employees welfare. Participation in Management. Workers should be made a part of magement by opting them in decision making bodies. It will encourage industrial democracy in the organisation. The periodical consultation with workers for making any changes will help in proper implementation. The workers will be able to understand the viewpoint of the management on important decisions concerning the workers. Once workers are associated with decision making them they will feel it as their responsibility to help in implementing them. Such a step will enhance the prestige of workers and their morale will improve. Improve Workers Training. The workers be given proper training so that their performance on jobs is better. This will give satisfaction and pleasure for working on their jobs. if a worker is not suitable for a job or he is deficient in working on a job them it will bring frustration and tension to him. So better training helps in improving morale of employees. Job enrichment. Job enrichment involves the use of those factors which are intended to motivate the workers. The job performance should give satisfaction to the workers. The basic purpose is to reduce job discontentment by changing or improving a job to ensure that the worker is better motivated. Job enrichment opens opportunities for greater recognition, growth advancement and responsibility.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Morale in an important part of organisations environment. It is a social element for the success of an organisation because it expresses attitudes and feeling of employees towards policies, procedures. These feelings and attitudes effect the productivity and level of job satisfactions of the employees. Dale S. Beach views while explaining the importance of morale, "Morale is the total contentment or work satisfaction which an individual gets from the members of work group, supervisor and work environment." The morale of the employees is said to be high when these feelings and attitudes are favourable towards their work, organisation co-workers and objectives with high morale of its employees accomplishes its goals easily. The morale of the employees is said to be low when feelings and attitudes are unfavourable towards their work, organisation, workers and organisational objective. When it is low an organisation fails to achieve its goals. In order to known the significance and of morale the researcher undertake the case study of status of employee morale in HMT Pvt. Ltd., (Pinjore)
