Employee morale or workspace morale is the morale of employees in workspace environment. It is proven to have a direct effect on productivity.
Long used by the military as a "mission-critical" measure of the psychological readiness of troops, high morale has been shown to be a powerful driver of performance in all organizations. Extensive research demonstrates its benefits in productivity, profitability, customer satisfaction and worker health. By measuring morale with employee surveys many business owners and managers have long been aware of a direct, causative connection between that morale, (which includes job satisfaction, opinions of their management and many other aspects of the workplace culture) and the performance of their organization.
Recognized as one of the major factors affecting productivity and overall financial stability of any business, low morale may lead to reduced concentration, which in turn can cause mistakes, poor customer service and missed deadlines. It also can contribute to a high turnover rate and absenteeism. Employee morale proves to be detrimental to the business in these respects. Morale can drive an organization forward or can lead to employee discontent, poor job performance, and absenteeism (Ewton, 2007). With low morale comes a high price tag. The Gallup Organization estimates that there are 22 million actively disengaged employees costing the American economy as much as $350 billion per year in lost productivity including absenteeism, illness, and other problems that result when employees are unhappy at work. Failing to address this issue lead to decreased productivity, increased rates of absenteeism and associated costs, increased conflicts in the work environment, increased customer or consumer complaints, and increased employee turnover rates and costs associated with selection and training replacement staff.
Morale- a state of individual psychological well being based upon a sense of confidence and usefulness and purpose.
The spirit of a group that makes the members want the group to succeed.

thumb|Un homme au travail La satisfaction au travail est un sujet théorique important de la sociologie du travail et a été définie de différentes manières. Elle peut tout d'abord se référer à la satisfaction pure et simple d'un individu face à son emploi, aux tâches qu'il entraîne, à la hiérarchie. D'autres pensent que cette vision est trop simpliste et qu'il faudrait voir dans la satisfaction au travail une étude psychologique multidimensionnelle de la manière dont l'emploi influe sur la vie d'un individu.
