Twenty-five percent of workers say their company is loyal to employees, down from 41 percent in 2004 and 26 percent in 2005, according to a survey for Randstad by Harris Interactive.

Meanwhile, 56 percent of workers say they are loyal to their companies, down from 59 percent last year.

Thirty-eight percent of employees say morale at their company is good or excellent, down form 44 percent in 2004 and 40 percent in 2005.

The survey found differences between employees' and employers' views on issues like loyalty and morale at their company. For example, 41 percent of employers say their company is loyal to employees, and 55 percent of employers said morale is good or excellent at their company.

"The survey shows a widening gap in employee expectations and respective employer delivery," says Genia Spencer, managing director of operations and human resources for Randstad USA . "Companies that encourage dialogue to narrow the disparity will broaden work appreciation and job satisfaction. Employees' views of work and growth opportunities vary by generation; therefore, improving job satisfaction and productivity require tailored approaches."

The online survey included 1,264 employers and 1,642 were employees.
