Fyn, Kaufman, Hosier, and Weber uncover factors that influence academic librarian turnover in their mixed methods study. Work environment, compensation and benefits, and personal factors were revealed to be the highest causes of dissatisfaction. Additionally, the data show that participants were “most dissatisfied with the morale in the library, followed by the library administration, and the culture of the library.”
The original low morale study is mentioned in their literature review, noting role ambiguity and workplace well-being.
