Abstract

This paper discusses certain factors which are considered basic to an understanding of the morale concept. Particularly does It endeavour to show a difference between job‐satisfaction and morale. Morale is to be understood in terms of forward‐looking and confident striving towards the achievement of a shared and vital purpose or goal. Arising from a wider study being carried out by the author, significance is found in individual teacher's differing perceptions of the same situation. A simple paradigm is suggested as the basis for further hypothesizing and research.
