Sample was drawn from those librarians and information professionals who were currently employed with a special or research library in Tehran, Findings: Data analysis indicated that neuroticism and agreeableness have negative significance with the overall job satisfaction. Findings do not indicate any significance between job satisfaction with demographics such as age and work experience. They further indicate that men demonstrate more satisfaction with their jobs than women. | ||
