Abstract
Academic libraries are referred to as the hub of academic activity in any
higher education institution because of the vital roles they play. The
researchers examined the relationship between corporate culture and the job performance
of library personnel in academic libraries in Rivers State, Nigeria. Two
research objectives were developed to guide the study, and the research
hypothesis was tested at the 0.5 level of significance. The study adopted
consistency theory, involvement theory, adaptability theory, and mission
theory. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study, and the
population of the study comprised the entire library staff in all the
university libraries in Rivers State, which was 159. The study discovered that
corporate culture is practiced among library personnel in academic libraries in
Rivers State, Nigeria. It also revealed that corporate culture motivates
library personnel to perform very well at their institution. The study further
revealed that there was a significant relationship between corporate culture
and the job performance of library personnel in the institutions. It was
recommended that institutions of higher learning develop a culture that is
flexible and supportive to influence employees’ abilities, behaviours,
attitudes, opinions, and dispositions in the workplace. Also, the management of
institutions of high learning should pay close attention to rigid culture to
promote autonomy and facilitate corporate behaviour among workers, as ambiguous
culture can be very difficult to understand.
