CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
11
The perfect condition when the morale of employees is applied in all It
industries, the productivity and performance of the project will increase.
Other than that, is also helping the company to gain more profits because
of increasing in performance of the project. Some measure of morale is
trying to capture its positive effects on the performance of the company
and also the performance of the project. The high morale of employees
will give positive effects to companies such as employee will maintain
working in the same company. (Mone M.A, 1997) reported that employees
most likely to remain in their works and become stable employees when
they have highesteem and a strong sense self-efficacy. In psychology
terms, self-esteem is about an overall sense of personal value.
When employees have high self-esteem it is shown that they have positive
value in every decision that they make and in every work that they do.
There has positive value such as respect, commitment, beliefs, emotions
and behaviors of employees in the workplace. Besides that, self-efficacy
is defined as people‟s beliefs about their capabilities or strength in the
ability to complete tasks and achieved goals. High selfefficacy in
employee‟s means that they strongly believe can complete the task on time
and also helping to achieve company‟s goal. This is one of the benefits
when It industry can apply and take morale of employees as one of
important factors that can affect their project performance.

STUDY DESIGN
14
Need of the Study
This topic of study will support the organization to know the strength and
opportunity to develop the employee‟s morale and to know the happy
employees and their productive work. High morale will bring motivation in a
team work and employees‟ high degree of employee‟s interest in their job and
organization. Morale will motivate among the employees for better
performance and job satisfaction. By doing this study we come to know the
employees performance and motivation in the organization. Employee‟s
relationship & strength will be found through morale. Morale will pull
together to achieve group goal.
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
15
morale of employee the company also can improve their project
performance.
Apart from that, this study is being very helpful to others industry not only
in the It industry because every industry or company must know and aware
about the morale of their employees. This is because the morale of
employees can affect their project performance. It also serves a future
reference for potential researches on the same subject morale of
employees.
16
SCOPE
This research studied the relationship between morale of employees
and project performance in the It industry in Kedah, Malaysia. It only
includes Kota Setar area in Kedah Darul Aman. It is about the morale of
employees and also relationship with project performances. The
respondent in this study is a contractor from Grade 4 (G4) only. Data of
respondents were collected using questionnaires sent by email.
17
Limitations of the Study
Most of the employees were busy with their tight work and they don‟t
want to be disturbed. The study was on 70 selected employees, so their
need not be the universal opinion & employees not able to provide exact
information because some of the employees are reluctant to share the
information.

Reserach Methodology
19
Statistical Tools Used: This researcher has used the following statistical
tools:
1. Correlation
2. Regression Equation
Simple Percentage Method
A percentage analysis method is the tools used by the researcher for the
analysis and interpretation. Through the use of percentages the data are
reduced in the standard form with base to 100 which fact facilities relative
comparisons. In the percentage analysis, percentage is calculated by
multiplying the number of respondents into hundred and it is divided by the
sample size. Percentage analysis = (no. of respondent/ total no. of
respondent) × 100
Correlation
Statistical correlation refers to a quantifiable relationship between two
variables. Furthermore, it is a measure of the strength and direction of that
relationship. Two measures for each subject (or object) in the group are
required.
Pearson Product Moment Correlation
Regression equation
= estimated y and is the value on the y axis across from the point on the
regression line for the predictor x value. (Sometimes represented by or y´.)
This is the estimated value of the criterion variable given a value of the
predictor variable.
a = the intercept point of the regression line and the y axis. It is calculated
through the equation ; therefore, the means of both variables in the
sample and the value of b must be known before a can be calculated.
b = the slope of the regression line and is calculated by this formula:
20
If the Pearson Product Moment Correlation has been calculated, all the
components of this equation are already known.
x = an arbitrarily chosen value of the predictor variable for which the
corresponding value of the criterion variable is desired.
For example, the reason observed frequencies in a fruit fly genetic breeding
lab did not match expected
Frequencies could be due to such influences as:
Mate selection (certain flies may prefer certain mates)
Too small of a sample size was used
Incorrect identification of male or female flies
The wrong genetic cross was sent from the lab

Theoritical Framework
In the last few years, the global industrial environment has changed deeply due
Industry 4.0 concept is the result of the technological progress of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution . The term “Industry 4.0” was introduced in 2011 by Henning Kagermann,
professor of physics and former president of the SAP board, and evolved into a strategy
for the development of German industry . Industry 4.0 uses the technical achievements
of the Third Industrial Revolution, in the area of the degree of automation and
implemented on a large scale in smart factories in the future . Industry 4.0 is based on
cyber physical systems with the Internet of Things—IoT and Internet of Services—IoS
, and Big and Mining Data . The intensive development of CPPS is heading towards
an increasing scale . Technology 4.0 builds intelligent production processes that are
22
able to independently exchange information, trigger actions and control each other .
Industry 4.0 is the path to greater competitive advantage for businesses , also SMEs .
implementing Industry 4.0 in enterprises have not yet been described in detail in a
individual investment projects related to the Industry 4.0 concept. The selectivity of
technological progress is realized faster and easier, as well as industries that are more
difficult to implement new solutions (studies PwC, , Deloitte) . The first group includes
light industry, e.g., food, clothing, production of household appliances, and the second
group includes heavy industry, e.g., metallurgy, mining, or process industry, e.g., fuel
and energy industry. The effects of the changes introduced in enterprises are also
different, e.g., in production where the end product is e.g., electricity, chemicals or
fuels, greater control over processes and increased energy efficiency are achieved. In
the case of discrete and hybrid production, such as e.g., the production of vehicles in
automotive companies or production in the food & beverage sector, the changes allow
shortening the delivery time, thanks to the flexible adjustment of the production scale
23
in factories located in various countries . Therefore, the research aims at presenting the
general path of enterprises to Industry 4.0 and building the stages of work carried out
by the surveyed enterprises to achieve the level of Industry 4.0. The paper was based
benchmarks in a given industry. The content of the work consists of variants of the
stages of reaching the next levels I 4.0 by enterprises. The mentioned variants of
about the way of enterprises, aimed at transforming their enterprises into Smart
Factory. The practical element of the work is to present the planned period of
industry. Their choice was determined by the availability of information about the
duration of projects in the area of Industry 4.0. The activities presented in the
carried out in companies help to understand the concept of Industry 4.0 from a practical
Technology 4.0 creates new, intelligent factories that produce customized products.
The key technical innovations, treated as technology 4.0, create, e.g., a new system of
communication in which both the digital world and the real world are connected with
24
each other, thanks to which machines, products in different processing phases, systems
printing— both for prototyping and for the implementation of individual orders are
carried out in stages in stages, and breakthrough changes are and will be triggered by
the scale of their application, synergy, integration and development dynamics; • data
processing in the cloud or fog, with response dynamics at the level of milliseconds;
analytics of large data sets on all aspects of product development and production;
simulation techniques for the operation of real objects in their virtual representations,
environment and with other robots and adaptation to changing conditions and
particular industry sectors are currently at various levels of advancement of their work
towards Industry 4.0 requires rethinking the methods, processes, IT solutions and
25
organizational forms used. Research on the ways of leading enterprises to implement
Industry 4.0 is carried out in industry sectors, in-market segments, in clusters (e.g.,
OWL), in capital groups, and other formal structures. The research is most often carried
solutions for intelligent technical systems in the industry. Commercial applications are
designed for selected processes or production, taking into account the specifics of the
industry, up to full digital planning of entire factories. The new paradigm of Industry
is already available for production companies, but its complete implementation is still
under development. However, the question arises: what is the path (way) or maybe
a universal and useful for every enterprise step-by-step instruction, due to the variety
of investment projects being carried out and a wide range of differences in the
present the general components of Industry 4.0. The review of scientific literature was
a source of secondary data on the framework of Industry 4.0. However, the analysis of
planned and implemented activities of enterprises in reaching Industry 4.0 led the

Interpretation
Enthusiasm factor is important among the employees of an organization. Only if the
employees have enthusiasm in their work, they can tend to complete their work faster
and accurate. They would have better concentration towards their work. In
Gandhimathi Appliances, 37 out of 70 employees who responded the sample
questionnaire seem to be enthusiastic about their job. 11 workers were not able to
decide on their level of enthusiasm. 22 people felt that they had no enthusiasm towards
their work.

Respectability towards the employees (table 4.1) and feeling of success and satisfaction
(table 4.2), the solution of two tables we got positive value so there is relation between
accomplishment and treated equal respect. If the employee were getting good respect
intends the accomplishment and pride will be good and the company morale will be
increases.

1. Findings
Majority of the respondents are having good relationship with fellow workers
supervisors but there is less relationship between other departments.
Respondents have opinion that they are not getting good morale from their
supervisor when they are fulfilling the work. It may de-motivate employees in the
organization.
Majority of the respondents are having good leadership from the union leader.
The respondents expressed that they have heavy work load in the organization.
Majority of the respondents are inspired in the organization by doing their work.
It shows the level of the morale.
The respondents are said there is more turnover in the organization.
Majority of the respondents are not having better feeling after their success. It
show that the supervisor not giving the better motivation.
Majority of the respondents were achieving their goals in their work.
2. Suggestions
To improve the level of Employee Morale, Organization may consider the following
suggestion.
Management should maintain the goals and responsibility toward the employees.
It will be more effective if the management could arrange some more adequate
motivation programs.
Management should reduce the work load of the employees.
It is better the management should recognize the special talents.
Employees should be treated friendly and should be allowed to participate in the
problems.
Management should take the necessary step for the improvement
interdepartment cooperation.
Management should be take steps to reduce employee‟s turnover. So that
management should provide motivation to retain the employees.
37
3. Conclusion
Morale is psychological concept. Morale is not a cause but rather the effect or result of
many going awry. Morale drifters from person to person, industry to industry, level of
education age, nature of work etc. Morale may be range from very high to very low.
By this study in Gandhimathi Appliance were cleared that there showing various
faction which influences morale and productivity of the employees each as Social
Security measures, welfare facilities, salary status, Bonus, heath condition, shift system
and recognition of work are getting much importance. To conclude employee morale
plays very important role in every organization. Good employee morale is the key role
for success of the organization. Unless an employee has poor morale if always a
possibility of employee disharmony and also affect smooth running of the organization.
