employees' morale (Dwomoh, and Moses, 2020). Day by day the workload and competition are

morale get lows as they feel that they have no use in organisation. They are feeling bad that what
they are for organisations. This arises due to the insecurity which gets from organisation culture
and environment. It can be come from the superiority due to high politics in organisation.

employees as they are getting influence towards taking leaves. They believe that organisation
gives only stress to them and taking leave gives relaxation to them. Due to this, sometimes
employees get motivated towards switching jobs as their career and mind set get stuck.

companies give better opportunities to those people who posses many employability skills.
