    Morale refers to the attitude and enthusiasm that members of a group have when working towards common goals. It is a psychological concept that exists in the minds and emotions of the group. Morale differs from motivation in that it is a group phenomenon rather than individual, and is influenced more by freedom and restraint than by needs and drives. Employee morale can be measured through observation, surveys, and indicators of attitudes. High morale is associated with low absenteeism, turnover, and high productivity, while low morale shows the opposite indicators. Management can boost morale through participation, communication, training, rewards, job enrichment, and appreciation to increase productivity.
