study comprised of professional, para-professional and non-professional
staff of the three selected academic libraries of 126. A total enumeration
sampling technique was applied. A sample size of 126 respondents was
used for the study. Questionnaire was used as data collection instrument.
Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency
counts and percentages the response rate was 96.8%. The findings of the
study revealed that a higher percentage of the respondents agreed that
job security and mentoring motivate them to perform their job.
Additionally, the findings of the study revealed that library staff members
are best motivated when they are given the opportunity to use their ability.
Also, on the level of motivation of library staff based on extrinsic
motivators, job security is very high. Furthermore, the findings of the study

service to the user, punctuality at work, work efficiency and commitment
to job are the major factors that increase level of job among library staff in
academic libraries. In, addition, the study also found out that majority of
the respondents agreed that library working conditions; poor staff welfare
and poor communication structure are the major impediments to the
motivation of library staff, but job insecurity does not impede the
motivation of library staff. The study recommended that university
management should endeavor to eliminate various impediments to library
staff motivation.
