Abstract

Job satisfaction is one important aspect that a library system should look after for because it has a significant correlation with job performance. Specifically, this relationship appears stronger on a collective basis. Then, perception plays a vital role in personality traits and emotional states that may have an important role in determining individual satisfaction. Concurrently, work environment and organisation strategy are found to be more likely determinants to increase collective job satisfaction. Thus, libraries should consider implementing both personal and organisational approach to ensure greater level of LIS Professionals’ satisfaction. The study counts upon the perception of the LIS professional job satisfaction and perception.
