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.
