| Title: | Achieving High Performance in Library Work |
| Author(s): | Martell, Charles |
| Subject(s): | Library personnel management |
| Abstract: | In this article, the concept of productivity is recast. This is necessary because the nature of work is undergoing a profound transformation. As a result, corporate and political leaders are seeking to build an institutional framework in which excellence and high performance are adopted as basic cultural norms. To be successful in this effort, leaders must create a new reality for the employee. This must include a high quality of work life. Discussion of a set of critical human resource issues may help to provide a platform from which to refocus personnel administration as it is currently practiced in our nation's libraries. These issues are: motivation; job design; quality of work life; organizational culture; high performance; and excellence and renewal. |
