Abstract

Morale can have a significant effect upon the utilization and development of the human resources of diplomacy. For some time, morale in the Department of State and its Foreign Service has not been as good as it should be. A growing number of career officers have come to feel that proven ability and broad professional experience are at a discount as they see an increasing number of top jobs in Washington and appointments in the field going to political appointees and noncareer individuals. Another major morale factor arises from confused and ever-changing patterns of management and administration. This has resulted, in part, from excessive turnover in the Department's highest administrative position and from adoption of varying and sometimes contradictory recommendations made by many outside groups which have studied the Department and the Foreign Service since 1945. Stronger career incentives are needed if morale is to be brought up to desirable levels.
