Employee Motivation, Emotional Intelligence and Human Capital Development As Correlates of Job Satisfaction and Productivity of Librarians In Public Universities In Nigeria

Job satisfaction of employees plays a crucial role in determining the general productivity of workers in any organization. Thus in this study, job satisfaction is conceptualized to mean the level of positive attitude that a librarian displays when performing his/her duties in the university library and the rate at which his/her basic needs are met by the employers. It is interesting to note that if librarians are well catered for by the university authorities in the area of giving them due recognition for a job well done, put in place a good leadership style for the administration of the university library coupled with a career development opportunity for librarians to enhance development of their managerial skills, and conducive work environment as well as improved remunerations (good salaries and wages); their level of productivity will be greatly improved from what is presently existing in most Nigerian public universities.
