Publisher's Synopsis
The Structure of Morale by J.T. MacCurdy is a comprehensive study of the psychological and sociological factors that determine the morale of individuals and groups. The book explores the various components of morale, including motivation, emotion, cognition, and social dynamics, and how these components interact to create a cohesive sense of purpose and identity.MacCurdy draws on a wide range of sources, from military campaigns to industrial workplaces, to illustrate the principles of morale and how they can be applied in different contexts. He emphasizes the importance of leadership, communication, and shared values in fostering high morale, and offers practical strategies for building and maintaining morale in organizations of all kinds.Throughout the book, MacCurdy emphasizes the role of individual agency in shaping morale, arguing that individuals have the power to influence and shape the morale of their groups through their attitudes, behaviors, and interactions. He also highlights the importance of social support and community in promoting resilience and well-being, particularly in times of stress and adversity.Overall, The Structure of Morale provides a valuable framework for understanding the complex dynamics of morale and how they can be harnessed to promote individual and collective flourishing. It is a must-read for anyone interested in leadership, organizational psychology, or the social and cognitive foundations of human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
