Retention and productivity levels of the existing workforce are an essential concern in human resource management. Employee turnover is one of the most studied topics in organizational psychology and is of interest to other professionals, including personnel researchers and managers of organizations. Employees became dissatisfied with their job because of poor condition of service and lack of motivational strategies on the part of the employer. The book discusses ways of improving job motivation and job satisfaction of library personnel in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that Public Universities should design developmental programmes that would focus on greater motivation of workers so as to reduce their turnover intentions. Job satisfaction policies should be formulated to reduce employee’s turnover intentions. This book will therefore be of immense benefit to library administrators as well as managers in other organizations to improve on the welfare of their employees.
