Job satisfaction can be influenced by a variety of factors such as appreciation, communication, co-workers, fringe benefits, job conditions, nature of work, organization, personal growth, policies and procedures, promotion opportunities, recognition, security, and supervision.

Two hundred and eight individuals responded out of 280 Library Assistants. The results indicated major difference of satisfaction through seven parameters. Out of the seven parameters, only the salary has become a strong facet that contributes to overall job satisfaction. It was found that 125 respondents (60%) were satisfied and 68 (33%) were averagely satisfied regarding the salary. Satisfaction on overtime earning, loan facilities, welfare, accommodation, foreign leave and career development facilities of respondents were 43%, 32%, 18%, 12%, 12% and 16% respectively. Further the study reveals that the overall job satisfaction was better towards the salary and the satisfaction of library assistants was negative towards the overtime earnings, loan facilities, welfare, accommodation, foreign leave and financial access for career development of University Libraries.
