Employee Motivation in University Libraries in Ghana: a comparative analysis

Edwin Ellis Badu

Department of Information Studies, University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana. ellisbadu{at}yahoo.com

Comparison of motivational preferences of the staff of two university libraries in Ghana indicates that age groups and professional positions of the workers in a survey determine their motivational factor preferences. Respondents from the two sites have different motivational values. Different strategies are therefore required to motivate the workers and it is suggested that library managers avoid the assumption that what motivates them motivates the employees as well.

Key Words: University libraries • Staff • Motivation • Ghana
