Think India Journal , 2019
Higher education shapes the character and career of not only individuals, but it also impacts the shape and status of society, nation and even universe through its concomitant tools like knowledge collection, knowledge dissemination and knowledge creation. Though physical infrastructure does play a significant part in the emergence of higher education institutions (HEIs) to a position of eminence, role of teachers forming part of its system may be described as its engine which ignites it to surge towards its cherished destination. Constituting the core of the learning process conducted in HEIs, teachers' morale assumes significance if HEIs have to traverse towards their goals assuring desirable national as well as global quality parameters to the community. Besides, policy support reflecting in the form of decent pay structure, labs, libraries, and smart class rooms, the most vital factor, which motivates teachers to discharge their duties with greater passion and commitment, is their morale. If diligence is properly recognized in the form of promotion to higher grade in service, morale of teachers is bound to leap upwards. Unfortunately, however, the scenario in the state of Jharkhand (India) manifests utter neglect on this front as even after almost decades of service, teachers find themselves languishing on lower grades not commensurate with their experience and erudition. Low morale of teachers impacts HEIs operational in this state on several parameters of quality assessment. M orale lifting of teachers assumes significance if the institution hopes to carve its appreciable niche in the academic domain.

The Australian Educational Researcher, 2007
The literature suggests that teacher morale is at an all time low in Australia ) with teachers feeling undervalued, frustrated, unappreciated and demoralized (Smyth 2001 Senate Employment, Education and Training References Committee (SEETRC) 1998). In this paper the author utilizes the data gathered in a recent study into teaching excellence awards as the medium to explore and discuss the issue of teacher morale and to provide some tentative suggestions for improving morale as proposed by the study participants. If we accept a reciprocal relationship between teacher morale and student learning (Ramsey 2000, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 2000), students in some schools may not be getting the best possible value from teachers affected by low morale. Participants in the Mackenzie (2004) study agreed that morale was generally lower than in previous times, although many suggested that morale was positive in their own schools. This suggests that morale may be more complex than has been previously understood, with three levels of morale operating concurrently for teachers, a concept which is explored in this paper.
