The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of library directors' theory of management upon middle managers' managerial behavior and middle managers' job satisfaction in medium-size public libraries throughout the United States. This was done by testing middle managers' behavior and job satisfaction and relating them to directors' theories of management. The major assumption of the study was that the Human Resource School of Management, as the prevalent management theory in public libraries, could be statistically associated with middle managers' job performance and satisfaction with their jobs. The major hypotheses stated: "There is a direct and significant relationship between top managers' management theories and middle management's managerial behavior and middle management's job satisfaction in medium-size public libraries." The sub-hypotheses stated: "(1) In this research the identified management theory has a significant influence on middle management's behavior and job satisfaction. (2) To the extent that middle management desires, expectations, and behavior are in harmony with top management's management theories, middle managers will find greater satisfaction. (3) There is a reciprocal relationship between top managers' management theories and middle managers' managerial behavior which tends to reinforce top management's management theory and middle management's managerial behavior." |
