The study examined organisational and psychological factors as correlates
of job performance of personnel in private university libraries. Descriptive
research design was adopted in the study. The total population of the study comprised
of 83 respondents in the 8 private universities in South-South Nigeria. Since
the population was small, total enumeration sampling technique was employed.
The instrument adopted for the collection of data was the questionnaire. The
questionnaire was structured based on 4-point Likert scale of Strongly Agree,
Agree, Disagree and Strongly Disagree. Of
the 83 copies of questionnaires administered, 73 (94.0%) were found valid for
analysis. The data collected were used to test the eight null hypotheses at
0.05 level of significance. The results of the study showed that organisational
factors (organisational culture and organisational commitment) are stronger
corrolates of job performance among personnel in private university libraries
in South-South Nigeria than psychological factors (work motivation and
self-esteem).
