Abstract

This study investigated leadership styles, organisational rewards and employees’ commitment in academic libraries in Nigeria. The descriptive study adopted a total enumeration sampling technique. All of the 218 staff of academic libraries in Ondo State were covered by the study; 153 (70.2%) responded to the study. The Organisational Commitment Questionnaire developed by Allen and Meyer was used for data collection. The study found that the extent of the leadership styles adopted by the heads of libraries was moderate. Heads of libraries and subordinate staff had conflicting opinions about the extent of employees’ commitment and organisational rewards given to employees. The study found a significant relationship between leadership styles and employee commitment, and between organisational rewards and employee commitment in academic libraries in Nigeria. It is recommended that academic libraries should be democratic in their leadership approach and reward employees fairly for their efforts so as to ensure maximum employee commitment.

学术图书馆的领导风格、组织奖励和员工承诺

本研究调查了尼日利亚学术图书馆的领导风格、组织奖励和员工承诺。描述性研究采用全枚举抽样技术。这项研究涵盖了翁多州218名学术图书馆工作人员;153例(70.2%)对研究有反应。数据收集采用Allen和Meyer开发的组织承诺问卷。研究发现，图书馆馆长采用的领导风格的程度是适度的。对于员工的投入程度和组织给予员工的奖励，图书馆负责人和下属员工的看法相互矛盾。该研究发现，在尼日利亚的学术图书馆中，领导风格和员工承诺之间、组织奖励和员工承诺之间存在显著关系。建议学术图书馆在领导方式上应该民主，公平地奖励员工的努力，以确保员工最大限度地投入。
