Construct Validation of the Staff Morale Questionnaire – The Singapore Scene

Abstract

Teacher morale in Singapore is investigated by a validated questionnaire of 20 items. Low morale in Singapore is exaggerated by a shortage of teachers, especially graduates. Government efforts to remedy this are described: better pay and non‐monetary incentives. The factors causing low morale are within the locus of control of school administrators.
