| contents | Measuring Person-Job Fit and Career Paths of Distance Learning Librarians Rundels, Jennifer J. Casey, Anne Marie Librarians Distance Education Personality Theories Career Development Job Satisfaction Academic Libraries Librarian Attitudes While person-job fit has been used to determine satisfaction in many professions, no research has been done among distance learning librarians. This study investigates person-job fit among librarians with primary distance learning responsibility compared to librarians with some distance learning responsibility and examines whether a common career path exists among the two groups. Responses indicate that librarians who work primarily in distance learning perceive a slightly better fit with their positions and the work itself while those with some distance learning responsibility experience a slightly better fit within their library organizations. Career advancement is a common motivator for both groups. |
