Abstract

Although there is a growing amount of literature on how to survive and thrive in the face of workplace adversity, there is still a scarcity of research on universities teachers’ morale. The current research aims to fill this gap in the literature by concentrating on the following concerns at the universities. It looked into the following existing literature in particular: the state of job-related factors at the universities; the level of teacher morale, as well as analyzing the relationship between demographic factors and teachers’ morale at the universities; and the relationship between job-related factors and teachers’ morale at the universities. Since the proposed study addressed university teachers’ morale, the conceptual framework demonstrated the relationship between the variables. The study investigated demographic and job-related factors that impact university teachers’ morale. According to the concept, demographic characteristics such as age, gender, highest academic credentials, marital status, and academic rank might impact one’s work morale. Not only that, but job-related elements like as regulations, compensation, and incentives may all have an impact on employee morale, either individually or collectively.
