Abstract

This paper examined the influence of perceived organisational support on librarians’ commitment in public universities. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted survey research design. A total enumeration was used to cover a population of 515 librarians from 16 public universities in South-South Nigeria. A structured questionnaire that measured variables in the study was adapted, validated and the Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients obtained for the constructs ranged from 0.87 to 0.96. The response rate obtained was 77.7%. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The study revealed a high level of commitment among librarians in public universities in South-South Nigeria. Affective commitment was high (M = 3.86) while continuance (M = 3.37) and normative (M = 3.29) was moderate. Findings further revealed that perception of organisation support was high among librarians in public universities in South-South Nigeria (M = 3.86). Perceived organisational support significantly influenced librarians’ commitment (Adj. R2 = 0.232, F(3, 398) = 41.160, p < 0 xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed> 0.05) had no significant influence on librarians’ commitment in public universities in South-South Nigeria. Originality/Value: This paper captured perceived organisational support (POS) from the angles of management, supervisor and co-worker, a perspective of POS which perhaps has not been empirically verified in past research, especially in the field of librarianship. The paper concluded that perceived organisational support is a good determinant of librarians’ commitment
