Abstract
The study looked at the relationship between job satisfaction, organizational
commitment, and work motivation of library personnel. The study was conducted out
at Kampala international university academic library. The objectives of the study were
to find out: the relationship between work motivation, job satisfaction, and
organizational commitment of the library personnel, the difference in the work
motivation of professional and non-professional library personnel and to explore the
difference in the job satisfaction of the library personnel in academic libraries. A
questionnaire was used in the collection of data from respondents. The survey was
administered by the researcher him self.
A total of 20 respondents were enrolled in the study. These included both the
management and support staff. The findings of this study reveal that a correlation exists
between perceived motivation, job satisfaction, and commitment, although correlation
between motivation and commitment was negative. No difference was observed in the
perceived motivation of professional and non-professional library personnel.
The findings also agreed with that certain motivational factors contribute to the
prediction of job satisfaction. However, negative correlation between organizational
commitment and work motivation as reported in this study may be a result of the fact
librarians are not highly motivated by their deeply held values and beliefs regarding
the development of a shared vision perceived motivation relates to job satisfaction and
commitment.The study therefore Library management in all academic institutions
should concentrate on improving the conditions for library personnel and highly cited
an example of on-the-job training to cope with the integration of information
technology into library practices.
