Abstract

විශ්වවිද්‍යාලයක ප්‍රධානතම පරමාර්ථය වනුයේ නවීන ලෝකය හා අනුගත වෙමින් ජාතික හා ජාත්‍යන්තර වශයෙන් මෙහෙවරක් ඉටු කිරීම සඳහා වන වෘත්තිකයන් හා අධ්‍යයනවේදීන් බිහි කිරීම සහ පර්යේෂණ හා සංවර්ධන කාර්යයන් මගින් ලොවට නව දැනුම ගොඩනැංවීම යි. The premier aim of a university is to be integrated with the modem world in order to originate professionals and educationists who are capable of rendering a yeomen service in national and international levels. Library plays an important role in performing the above task successfully and effectively. Human resource and its function is a critical factor in the accomplishment of this task. Here, their job satisfaction and motivation could be recognized as a variable of a unique importance. The study mainly focuses its concentration on a serious investigation of what factors are critically influenced on the enhancement of the level of motivation of the staff of the university library. Survey method is the key strategy in the collection of data in this enquiry in which a composition of major techniques such as questionnaires, interviews and observation was used in the process of data collection. Out of these techniques, questionnaire was used as the major base for collecting data. In addition, manuscripts, magazines, articles, ordainments and records in the relevant field were used as sources in collecting secondary data. Moreover, University of Ruhuna was the selected institution for the staff of the library. The sample sought to study 54 respondents in which library assistants, book binders, library attendants and labourers were selected according to their ranks. 111 Two main key variables influenced on staff motivation were taken into an earnest consideration in this study. They were monetary rewards and non-monetary rewards. Certain areas such as ‘ what is the level of job satisfaction of the respondents in the institution ? ’ ‘ to what level motivation, the ultimate mental result could reach ? ’ and ‘ what sort of an eventual influence it could make on the function of the institution ? ’ were covered in the study. The dependent variable was the rewards of the officials whereas the job satisfaction, motivation and function of the institution were used as independent variable in the study. The study is solely restricted to the University of Ruhuna as the data gained was represented only the university. 92 . 6% respondents had responded in the enquiry out of which the majority had been motivated by non-monetary rewards. Moreover, the fulfillment of the above factors was seen to be very stumpy and accordingly, their level of motivation was also found to be in a minimum standard. It is vital to make some strenuous emphasis on certain factors such as the acceptance of the officials, administration, communication and coordination, and institutional policies in turning factors related to the function of the institution, job satisfaction, and motivation into an enhanced direction which is in a negative function in the present scenario. Furthermore, fruitful administration, transparency, and equality are also emphasized as factors of vital importance in focusing consideration on diverse matters in the present library sector and moving it into a lasting existence successfully and effectively.
