This study was carried out to determine the relationship between Influence of Staff Training and Job Performance of Library Staff in public university libraries in the North-Central Zone of Nigeria. The study was guided by one objective, one research question and one hypothesis. A survey research design was employed for the study. The population for the study was 983 and a simple random sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 284 respondents from 13 public university libraries in the North central Zone of Nigeria. A self constructed questionnaire titled Influence of Staff Training and Job Performance of Library Staff Questionnaire (ISTJPLSQ) was used as an instrument for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts and pretested for reliability using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) with a correlation co-efficient of 0.87 which showed that the instrument was reliable. A total of 284 questionnaire were distributed and 263 was retrieved. Data collected for the study was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Percentages and mean values were used to answer the research question while the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to test hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that staff training has a positive relationship with job performance of library staff in public university libraries in the North-Central Zone of Nigeria. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that staff training has a significant relationship with job performance positively correlated. Therefore, the study recommends among others that library staff should be well trained so as to boost their morale for the efficiency and effectiveness of their job.
