This study examined job satisfaction among staff at the City of Cape Town Library and Information Service (COCTLIS). It found that 60% of the 141 respondents reported being satisfied with their jobs, with 21% being strongly satisfied. Respondents were most satisfied with interacting with patrons, community building, and the daily variety. They were most dissatisfied with difficult patrons, lack of resources, and bureaucracy. While most respondents were proud to work for COCTLIS, 23% said they might look for other jobs and 19% did not see themselves still working there in 3 years. The conclusions were that job satisfaction at COCTLIS was generally good but organizational commitment was mixed, with implications for future service quality.
