Have Low Morale?

I was doing a brief research-not too extensive-as to why employees struggle why keep their morale high at the workplace. Some may ask, is it the administrators?
How can an administrator keep the moral of the organization to maintain a functioning culture? Is it possible to satisfy all employees? Is it mainly monetary compensation? inability for advancement? Lack of relations between employees and administrators? What is a good administrator? How can the morale of the employees be affected? What are some factors that indicate to an administrator that the moral is down? Is it easily adjusted? What would be the motivation to fix the “problem”? 

Yes I know a lot to consider, but 5 signs that employees have low morale:
LACK of COMMUNICATION- when this happens employees tend to engage in messy, unnecessary, mostly invalid information, which id also known as GOSSIP; when employees have unhealthy communication with their peers and superiors communication becomes scarce, gossip and misinformation flourish. 

Lack of initiative. Unmotivated employees just go through the motions rather than taking an active seat and don't normally go above and beyond; just do enough to remain in compliance. 

No recognition and/or lack of creativeness when rewarding employees-Sometimes superiors may say "due to budget costs..... or "we used to" to justify why they aren't really putting much of an effort to recognizing their employees hard work, dedication, and achievements. 

Change in attitude- employees may start off excited about their new position and are totally engaged, however overtime......they just seem to become flatline__________......showing less interest and enthusiasm.

And of coarse...Poor Performance....this is pretty much self-explanatory....happy employee=great performance. Simple.

For those of you reading and find yourself victims of at least 3 or more of theses signs.....chances are you may have what is considered Low Morale within your organization.....
