Librarians’ attitude toward monetary and non-monetary incentives in university libraries: A case of selected university libraries in Nigeria
22-26The study uses a structured questionnaire to gather information on
librarians’ perception towards monetary and
non-monetary incentives in university libraries in Nigeria. Questionnaires were
distributed to 45 librarians in the selected university libraries through the
use of simple random sampling techniques to understand the attitude of
librarians towards monetary and non-monetary incentives. The findings revealed
that librarians are aware of both monetary and non-monetary incentives and that
majority of the librarians benefited from monetary incentives. Motivation, job
satisfaction and increase in organizational commitment are some of the benefits
librarians derive from monetary and non-monetary incentives. Recommendations
include linking of reward directly to performance and the need to pay
reasonable salary and wages to librarians in order to make them more effective
