Abstract |
The study investigated job demands, and job satisfaction of librarians in South-South Nigerian polytechnics. Two research questions were answered in the study, while one hypothesis was formulated and tested in this study at a 0.05 level of significance. A correlational research design was adopted for this study. Population is comprised of 103 librarians in fifteen (15) polytechnic libraries at South-South Nigeria. There are eight federal polytechnics and seven state polytechnics spread across South-South Nigeria's six states. This research has a sample size of 103. The method of total enumeration sampling was applied. The population's modest size is the cause of this. The questionnaire served as the study's research tool for gathering data. The researchers personally went to each of the participating polytechnics to hand out questionnaires. The data obtained from the completed questionnaire were analysed using frequency and percentages to analyse the personal data in part one of the instrument, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions one Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC) was used to answer research questions two while linear regression was used to test hypothesis one. Findings revealed that librarians at South-South Nigerian polytechnics have significant job demands in a number of areas related to their professional jobs. It recommended in the study that Polytechnics management initiate leadership techniques that honour and reward employee work. Feeling appreciated and included in decision-making increases the likelihood that librarians will be satisfied.
