Abstract
The study examined the relationship between organisational commitment and job satisfaction among librarians in university libraries in Southern Nigeria. The
researchers observed that librarians in these institutions do not show seriousness/commitment in service delivery and find it difficult to render effective library services to patrons as a result of not being satisfied with their job. The study adopted ex-post-facto research design. The entire population of 841 librarians was used as sample using total enumeration (purposive) sampling technique. A questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between organisational commitment and Job Satisfaction among librarians, librarians in the university libraries are satisfied with their job and librarians in the university libraries are committed to their job. The study concludes that organisational commitment is an essential tool for job
satisfaction among librarians in university libraries in Southern Nigeria. In order to boost the organisational commitment of librarians in the universities, managers of university libraries should improve the work skills of staff by sponsoring short courses, workshops on current trends in librarianship and career advancement both in Nigeria and abroad which will improve their job satisfaction.
