Abstract |
This study investigated the relationship between work experience and personnel productivity in polytechnic libraries in South-East and South-South, Nigeria. In carrying out the study, a research question was formulated to guide the study. The correlational survey research design was adopted for the study and a total of 284 respondents drawn from personnel of the 19 polytechnic libraries in South-East and South-South Nigeria were studied. The instrument used for collecting data was a self-structured questionnaire which was duly validated and the result justified its use. The findings showed that work experience has a significant relationship with personnel productivity in polytechnic libraries in South-East and South-South, Nigeria. The study recommended that polytechnic libraries should transform the way they recruit by improving on the extent of consideration of the recruitment variables in recruitment exercises. This transformation should not only involve allowing recruitment practices to be guided by recruitment variables, it should as well involve leaving personnel recruitment in the hands of recruitment experts who can use customizable criteria such as Application Tracking Systems (ATS) to filter candidates and shortlist top choices based on skills, work experience, specialization, academic background, or other conditions. More so, work experience should be a key factor in recruitment exercises. Because of the correlation between work experience and personnel productivity, interviews should be tailored to filter candidates and shortlist top choices based on work experience.
