| Summary: | Work environment factors are influencing employees performance, and thus
directly affecting the organization’s efficiency. The objective of this paper is to draw a
general image regarding the way in which employees from school, county, and
university libraries perceive tangible (furniture, work equipment) and intangible
(security, temperature, silence, air quality) elements from their work environments in
order to emphasize the main issues librarians are facing. The novelty of this research
stems from the application of the strategic comparative management’s principles in
order to collate the work environment perceptions of the three aforementioned
libraries. The research method was sociological inquiry, based on a survey,
implemented through a questionnaire, which was addressed nationwide to school,
county, and university library employees, helping us identify attitudes towards the work
environment. In general, librarians seem to be content with their work environment
conditions, and they feel safe. There are significant differences within employee
attitudes towards work environment factors. The most satisfied were school librarians,
because they interact with fewer users and work in a smaller environment. |
