The study investigated leadership styles, promotion opportunities, and salary as correlates of turnover intention among librarians in Nigerian academic libraries. It applied the correlational survey design, and data was gathered with a questionnaire. The entire 115 librarians in three (3) universities in South-South, Nigeria formed the population of this study. The data was analyzed with mean and Pearson Moment Correlation (2-tailed). The findings show that the turnover intention of the librarians was high; leadership, promotion opportunities, and salary positively correlate with the turnover intention. The major implication of the findings of the study is that the issue of leadership style, promotion, and salary should be carefully planned by the management of the library, otherwise, the librarians will leave the library whenever the opportunity shows up. These findings provide new data for planning the management of library staff to achieve effective information service in the library.

This study aims to investigate the influence of transformational and transactional leadership styles on the knowledge-sharing practices of librarians. It adopted a quantitative approach and a questionnaire formed the main instrument of data collection. Data collected from 216 librarians in different private, state and federal university libraries in Nigeria was analysed using multiple regression techniques and Tukey’s post-hoc test of honestly significant difference. The findings revealed that transformational leadership impacted knowledge sharing more than transactional leadership styles. Therefore, this study provides empirical evidence that transformational and transactional leadership behaviours are required to enhance the knowledge-sharing activities of librarians in Nigeria.
