Determination of Morale in an Industrial Company

Abstract

The following study presents an attempt to put scientific method to work upon a practical problem of human relations and morale in an industrial company. The study was undertaken in order to supply the management and personnel of the company with an interpretation of certain difficulties of attitude and personal feeling which had sprung up in the daily life of the concern and which had to be solved in the interests of better organization. The company was dependent for much of its business life upon a large staff of engineers and these difficulties involved the place and attitude of these men in their relations with others of the personnel.
