Abstract

A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Data was collected from thirty-two staff of the library using structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics. The result shows that the level of job performance among the library personnel is generally high, as evidenced by the average mean (x̄ = 3.67). The study indicates that organisational culture plays a moderate role in the library, as reflected in the average mean (x̄ = 2.82), indicating that the prevailing cultural practices are fairly supportive but not strongly entrenched. Similarly, the motivation strategies employ in the library are moderately effective, as reflected in the average mean (x̄ = 3.11). The study concludes that organization culture and motivation do not have significant influence on job performance of the respondents. Therefore, the study recommends that library management should improve organization culture and motivational strategies of the respondents in such a way that it will significantly influence their job performance.
