Abstract: This study analyzed the impact of an ESOP on employee morale. It also related employee morale changes to several generalized performance criteria of firms and of small businesses. Key executives of companies in the sample were surveyed to learn their estimate of employee morale before and after the installation of ESOP and to supply data regarding the objectives and performances of their firm. Employee morale did increase measurably after the ESOP was installed. Receiving voting rights by employees caused the greatest increase in morale; morale decreased as company size increased.
