REWARD SYSTEMS AND JOB SATISFACTION OF LIBRARIANS IN ACADEMIC LIBRARIES IN IMO STATE, NIGERIA.
Abstract
Purpose: The research work was carried out to examine reward systems and job satisfaction of librarians in academic libraries in Imo State, Nigeria. It was carried out to determine the relationship between reward systems (extrinsic and intrinsic) and job satisfaction among library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State. Design/Methodology/Approach: Correlational research design was adopted while the rating scale was used for data collection. The population of the study was made up of the one hundred and one (101) librarians working in the academic libraries studied. To answer the research questions, mean was used to answer the first research question, for research questions two and three, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used. The hypotheses were tested using t-test of significance of correlation.
Findings: The result of the study showed that majority of the library staff indicated that they were highly satisfied with their job. There is a positive relationship between level of extrinsic reward and extent of job satisfaction among library staff and there is a significant relationship between intrinsic reward system and extent of job satisfaction among library staff.
Implications: Based on the results of the study, the researchers recommended that; every effort should be made to sustain the satisfaction level of librarians, and that stakeholders should ensure that no form of reward is provided at the expense of the other since their combination yields a significant relationship.
Originality/Value: This work has not been published before. The finding of this study revealed that there are significant relationships between extrinsic, intrinsic reward systems and extent of job satisfaction among library staff. This finding implies that if these reward systems in university libraries are improved, library staff in these libraries will be more satisfied with their job and may as well improve their job performance.
