Answer 1

Four factors that influence staff morale are explained below:-

 

a) Office environment:
Surroundings play an important role in developing attitude of an individual. Employee morale is definitely affected by office environment, so it is important to keep it transparent and clean.

 

b) Nature of work:
The nature of work an employee is supposed to perform influences his attitude towards it. Many jobs of a routine nature create boredom and encourage a feeling of alienation and stress among the employees.

 

c) Appreciation:

If an employee is doing well, he needs appreciation for it. Employees feel happy when they are appreciated or rewarded. This gives a sense of belonging towards the company and in the lack of such benefits, employee's morale is badly affected.
