Abstract
This study investigated the influence of management styles and information anxiety on the job performance of library staff in academic libraries in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive design with a study population and sample of 197 librarians and library officers in 14 academic libraries in Lagos State. A structural questionnaire titled “Management Styles, information Anxiety and Job Performance (MSIAJP)” was used for data collection which had a coefficient reliability ofα=, 9091. Data was analysed using frequency distribution; percentages, mean, and standard deviation together with regression and correlation analysis run on SPPS. There is a significant relationship between management styles and job performance of library styles of library staff in academic libraries г=.306, P<0.05). There was no significant relationship between the management styles of library staff in academic libraries (г=.0.51, P>0.05). There was a significant combined effect of the management styles and information anxiety on the job performance of library staff (2,192) =10,327, P<0.05). Job performance of library staff in academic libraries is a function of many factors including management styles and information anxiety. This present study has been able to establish that both management styles and information anxiety have a major influence on the job performance of library staff. It is therefore recommended that library management should endeavour to create a favourable information environment that promotes access to useful information for decision –the library management should ensure that work is designed in a way that improves employees’ feeding of satisfaction and commitment to the work.
