ABSTRACT
Motivation may be seen as the forces maintaining human activity. Morale is the amount of zeal and zest people have for their activities. The social structure sustains motivation in a specific way. A wide variety of schemes have been proposed by different kinds of behavioral scientists for describing and analyzing motivation. In the work organization the adult learns the motivation system that is specific to that institutional setting. The predictions usually made about levels of morale in a work organization are based on highly simplified models of what affects morale. The morale of a group is particularly a consequence of the network of interpersonal relations among its members. Leaders in face-to-face work groups can gradually build and sustain the level of morale of the group. The research of the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan has demonstrated that an increase in work group morale is usually accompanied by an increase in output.
