This study attempts to survey and analyze the personnel management practices in the Social Security System which contributes to, or detract from, the building and maintenance of employee morale and productivity. More specifically, it answers the following questions: (1) What benefits and privileges are extended to the employees of the SSS? (2) Do these benefits and privileges promote high employee morale and productivity? (3) What other devices has the System adopted to promote employee morale and thus be motivated to work productively? and (4) How are employee benefits and services, employee participation, promotion, supervisory development, employee evaluation and employee discipline related to motivation, morale and productivity? This study will serve as a starting point for an empirical study on personnel administration in the SSS viewed from the over-all perspective of "effective and sound personnel administration as a prerequisite for successful administration of the Social Security Act."
