They're Not Robots, They're People
Article Abstract:
Morale effects productivity. Performance appraisals should be conducted objectively without destroying morale. Morale can also be affected by the supervisor's manner. Employees need to be treated as people, not as robots. Supervision should not be overly constricting; employees need responsibility.
