TITLE : JOB SATISFACTION OF PROFESSIONALS OF SPECIAL LIBRARIES OF DELHI NCR: AN INSIGHT INTO THE PREVAILING WORK CULTURE
ABSTRACT: It is a well-established truth that the libraries are the service oriented organizations, charged with the responsibility to serve humanity irrespective of class and creed. Library professionals have incredible responsibility in terms of fulfilling not only the requirements of their job related duties but also extending a sense of identification with the community and society and contributing towards their growth and development. The dramatic changes in society, exponential advances in technology and globalization are some of the major challenges for this profession. The rapidly changing world has added more challenges to this profession. As far as special libraries are concerned, they are confronted daily with the effects of globalization, technological developments, organizational transformation and performance, and ever changing expectations. More so, because of their special character and nature of business. This makes them more susceptible towards growing pressure of job. Therefore, it is pertinent to investigate the existing work environment of these special libraries in which the library professionals work and to find out the gaps between existing and expected roles. Since the job satisfaction is one of the manifestations of work environment or work culture of any institution, it may be used as one of the reliable sources to measure the work culture of any institution. Therefore, the level of job satisfaction among library professionals of special library may also throw some light on existing work culture of special libraries. In this context, the study of job satisfaction which is a constituent measure of work culture in the Indian libraries, especially the special libraries has become more relevant than ever. This paper gives an outlook of the existing job satisfaction situation and work culture prevalent in special libraries of Delhi NCR.
