- Abstract
The article focuses on the impacts of poor machinery and equipment maintenance on employee morale. It mentions other factors affected by poor machinery maintenance such as increased turnover and decline in operator efficiency. It discusses surveys which show the association of lowered morale with inappropriate functioning of equipment through the evaluation of employee satisfaction standards such as absenteeism, tardiness, and grievances. It tackles exit interviews conducted to further establish morale and equipment maintenance relationship.
