Morale is the general attitude or outlook of an individual or a group toward a specific situation. It influences, and is influenced by, such factors as optimism, confidence, and determination. Morale may seriously affect both well-being and performance, and is closely related to what is called esprit de corps. When morale is "high," the sense of confidence of an individual or a group are generally good, resulting in a high level of performance. When morale is "low," performance is usually correspondingly poor.
