• It is related with knowing one’s own expectations and living up to them.
• If one is clear of his own needs and know how to satisfy that need then, his morale is high.

and Form have given four combinations of
productivity and morale.

(1)HIGH MORALE-HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
o When group goals are satisfied and individual goals including freedom of work, salary, etc. are satisfied, which will lead to motivation of the employees, so standard of performance will be high, which in turn leads to high productivity and vice versa.
![Page 16: Morale and productivity hrm](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052117/5889b0991a28aba54d8b5463/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
(2)LOW PRODUCTIVITY-HIGH MORALE
o Though the individual goals rather than causing high productivity like pleasant fellow workers, good working conditions, etc.. are satisfied, where supervisors lack technical & administrative skills, which leads to low productivity of high morale group & where workers lack adequate skills or training leading to low productivity by high morale.
![Page 17: Morale and productivity hrm](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052117/5889b0991a28aba54d8b5463/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
(3)HIGH PRODUCTIVITY-LOW MORALE
Supervisor is only able to increase high productivity through his skills or planning ability rather than through motivation
He practices penalty method to give rise to high productivity.

(4)LOW PRODUCTIVITY-LOW MORALE
Where group goals and individual goals did not get satisfied.
It will thus be observed that there is a complexity of relationship between morale and productivity.

IMPROVEMENT OF MORALE
Firstly, it must be decided that a particular person who is responsible for the execution of the plan.
Each executive should be told, in writing, what he should do to improve the general morale of the employees.
Specific morale duties should be outlined for every executive.
