Faculty morale plays an important role in academic life. Morale influences faculty behavior, productivity, and quality of teaching; ultimately affects student learning and program quality; and is predictive of faculty turnover. It is an often overlooked but worthy challenge for academic leaders. This article examines faculty morale, its meaning, and factors that influence it and explores strategies for promoting it in a university department. Faculty morale is a cognitive, emotional, and motivational approach toward the work of the department and may be reflected by a sense of common purpose, group cohesion, and a sense of personal value in the organization. Research shows that faculty morale is affected by various aspects of work life including workload, supportive resources, and recognition. However, evidence also suggests that 2 of the strongest variables influencing morale are relationships with colleagues and perceptions of the abilities and actions of the department leader. Strategies are suggested for promoting faculty morale that are derived from the research, a survey of department chairs, and experience.

The present study examined the five discrepancies in power—coercive, reward, legitimate, referent, and expert—between faculty and the department head as predictors of faculties' job satisfaction, involvement, and alienation in department heads' influence system. The differences between subjects' ratings of their perceptions of the department heads' use of power and the ratings assigned to their preference for superiors' use of power constituted the operational definition of discrepancy in power. Analysis indicated that alienation was significantly and positively correlated with discrepancies in coercive, reward, and legitimate power; involvement had significant negative correlations with discrepancies in coercive, referent, and expert power; satisfaction had significant negative correlations with discrepancies in coercive and legitimate power. Discrepancy in rated use of coercive power had the most consistent and significant correlation with all three indexes of faculty morale. One might conclude that the measurement of discrepancies in power might predict morale of faculty.
