Human Resource Management in the Central University Libraries: A Study on Northeast India

Abstract

This research explores Central University libraries' human resource management practices in Northeast India and their library employees' concerns, pay, well-being, job satisfaction, and other significant topics. For this study, questionnaire methods were used among the 221 library staff of the ten Central Universities of Northeast India, of which 162 (73.30%) responded to the questionnaire. Based on the study, university library staff members are content with their present positions and believe that additional training seminars and other opportunities are necessary to improve their knowledge and skills and that of the library. This study is purely an original work with the expectation that the findings and results will assist library professionals in carrying out their jobs more efficiently and serve as instruments for getting ready for more tasks. In addition, it will also help researchers and academia.
