This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the effect of Job Security 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 effect of Job Security and Job Performance of Library Staff Questionnaire (EJSJPLSQ) 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 Job Security has a positive relationship with job performance of library staff in public university libraries in the North-Central Zone of Nigeria.
