Working environment in the university library: six Colombian University Libraries

Research centered on work climate in university libraries in Bogotá, for which five categories were defined: labour relations, innovation and change, resources and working conditions, compensation and remuneration, and orientation and identity. The methodology used was quantitative, consisting in the application of an appliance to 120 employees from six libraries. The results showed a stable labour environment, being the identity category -appropriation of institutional values and satisfaction of the place occupied in the organization- the one that obtained the best perception. On the other hand, the most significant disadvantages with regard to the work environment in libraries were mainly centred on innovation and change issues, as well as in labor relations.
