In light of the accelerated rate of change in vocational education, research was done to clarify relationships among teacher attitudes which would assist administrators in facilitating change. This study investigated the relationship between morale and change orientation of Alabama vocational education teachers. The Purdue Teacher Opinionaire and Russell's Change Orientation Instrument were administered to 936 teachers selected randomly from five vocational education service areas in Alabama. Findings indicated there is a small relationship between morale and change orientation, the largest measured association being between change orientation and satisfaction with teaching. Conclusions were that teachers with high morale tend to have more positive attitudes toward change and that teacher morale is regulated by a number of variables including daily student load, adequacy of facilities and equipment, and age and education of the teacher. Recommendations were made regarding need for further morale and change orientation studies to generate additional information covering a broader range of personnel and influencing factors. (BL)
