M. Tech. Policing / One of the greatest challenges facing the South African Police Service (SAPS) as well as other law enforcement agencies elsewhere is how to maintain the enthusiasm officers shared before graduating from the academy whilst on the job. Critical areas of police service policy and procedure is not only affecting officer's morale, but also having a severely detrimental effect on the public's confidence in the police as a whole. Officers within the SAPS Public Order Policing Unit in Tshwane Metropolitan area exhibit low morale, a loss of interest in their work, and are not fully engaged in the workplace or their duties. The general appearance of members and job dissatisfaction are also common signs in a workplace where members have low morale. Employees assigned or deployed within the Unit often fail to participate or pull their weight in the spirit of collaboration with their colleagues. Discipline issues, such as insubordination and poor attendance, are also signs of low morale. The fundamental purpose of this study is to determine the main causes of low morale within the SAPS Public Order Policing Unit in Tshwane Metropolitan area.
