Abstract: Let

R

be a commutative ring,

M

an

R

-module and

v a r p h i_{a}

be the endomorphism of

M

given by right multiplication by

a i n R

. We say that

M

is {it weakly-morphic} if

M / v a r p h i_{a} (M) c o n g k e r (v a r p h i_{a})

as

R

-modules for every

a

. We study these modules and use them to characterise the rings

R / e x t {A n n}_{R} (M)

, where

e x t {A n n}_{R} (M)

is the right annihilator of

M

. A kernel-direct or image-direct module

M

is weakly-morphic if and only if each element of

R / e x t {A n n}_{R} (M)

is regular as an endomorphism element of

M

. If

M

is a weakly-morphic module over an integral domain

R

, then

M

is torsion-free if and only if it is divisible if and only if

R / e x t {A n n}_{R} (M)

is a field. A finitely generated

B b b Z

-module is weakly-morphic if and only if it is finite; and it is morphic if and only if it is weakly-morphic and each of its primary components is of the form

(B b b Z_{p^{k}})^{n}

for some non-negative integers

n

and

k

.
