Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the absence of certain conditions can cause stress on library staff. The method adopted was to describe how stress can affect staff in the University of Nigeria library system. A random sampling method was used to survey staff opinion on the issue of stress as it affects their job performance in the offices. In all, 120 copies of a questionnaire were distributed and 76 were returned completed. In their responses, staff agreed that they face one kind of stress or another daily and this has affected their performances. Library management should plan for and deal with those things that give employees stress. Some recommendations are suggested on how to reduce staff stress. This is a study that challenges library management to see to the welfare of its staff that lives in an environment full of stress.
