Benefit Morale: Social Attitudes to the Welfare State in Poland examines the complex relationship between citizens and welfare systems through the innovative concept of "benefit morale".

This pioneering study analyses how social attitudes influence the effectiveness of welfare programmes, exploring both welfare abuse and non-take-up of benefits within the Polish context while developing a theoretical framework applicable to welfare states globally. The book presents original research through a comprehensive six-chapter structure: establishing a theoretical framework for benefit morale, reviewing existing welfare attitude research, detailing methodology, analysing Polish attitudes toward the welfare state, and examining attitudes toward both welfare abuse and non-take-up. This unique approach combines theoretical innovation with empirical evidence, offering valuable insights into the cultural and socioeconomic factors that shape welfare program effectiveness.

Providing a foundation for international comparative research on benefit morale, this volume serves multiple audiences, including policymakers seeking to improve social programme effectiveness, researchers in sociology and social policy, and students studying welfare systems.
