Research Methodology
The research methods used to complete the project are outlined in detail below. Data Collection Lighthouse Research sent an email invitation to employees of the Salt Lake City Public Library System. Employee email addresses were supplied by the Library and were used for data collection. A test email invitation was sent to 10% of Library employees on August 11, 2011. The initial email invitation was sent on August 17, 2011, and a reminder email was sent to those who had not yet completed the survey on August 25, 2011. All surveys were completed between August 11, 2011 and August 31, 2011. Lighthouse Research & Development received a total of 223 completed surveys, providing a 99% confidence level, with a 3.44% margin of error.

Executive Summary
Employment with the Library Currently, nearly two-thirds of respondents said they work or volunteer at the main Salt Lake City Public Library. More than one-half of respondents reported working part time for the Salt Lake Public Library System. For the most part, respondents are proud to work for the Library and said they feel the Library is, overall, a good place to work. However, they are not satisfied with the opportunities for advancement at the Library. In addition, respondents were split when it came to the statement, My ideas and suggestions are valued by management. Part time employees agreed more with that statement than full time employees. Also, employees at a branch agreed more with that statement than employees at the main library. Supervisors & Managers In general, respondents are satisfied with their immediate supervisors or managers (rating of 5.77). Respondents also gave high ratings to the specific aspects of their interaction with their supervisor/manager. The aspects that respondents most strongly agreed with were that their supervisor fairly assigns working hours and that he or she treats them with respect. On average, respondents expressed satisfaction with the communication they receive from their immediate supervisor and managers. Four of the 11 questions regarding communication among library personnel dealt with respondents supervisor/manager. All four of those statements were in the top five, according to average ratings. Respondents generally feel their supervisor/manager provides clear instructions, keeps them well informed, encourages open and honest communication, and provides them with adequate feedback about their job performance. Respondents, on average, feel their supervisor/manager cares about the Library staff and volunteers and they handle any problems in an appropriate and fair manner.
Executive Leadership Team Respondents generally gave low ratings with regards to statements about the Executive Leadership Team. On average, respondents did not feel the Executive Leadership team is committed to providing high quality products and services to Library patrons. They also felt the Library does not recognize employees that provide high quality services. When providing suggestions for improving the Librarys services to the community, 20% of respondents voiced concerns with either the Library Director or the Executive Leadership Team. Respondents generally expressed dissatisfaction with the communication they receive from the Executive Leadership Team. They felt the Executive Leadership Team (1) does not encourage open and honest communication, (2) does not communicate information the employees need to know about the Library, and (3) has not communicated a vision of the future that motivates the employees. In fact, the lowest average scores among all rating scale questions dealt with these three communication issues involving the Executive Leadership Team. When asked how communications could be improved within the Library, respondents most frequently suggested: 1) increasing honesty and transparency in communications and 2) resolving communication issues with the Director and the Executive Leadership Team. In general, respondents expressed some disagreement that the Executive Leadership Team cares about staff and volunteers and that the Executive Leadership Team is accessible and approachable. When asked what could be done to make the Library a better place to work, 39% of respondents suggested resolving concerns or issues with either the Director or the Executive Leadership Team. Many respondents also suggested encouraging trust, respect, and cooperation among all employees and encouraging better overall communication and transparency.
Library Services When rating the importance of various library services, respondents indicated that books and materials, circulation services, and reference services are most important. In general, respondents feel library employees demonstrate an attitude of caring for Library users and that they provide quality customer service to these users. In addition, respondents feel that coworkers within their departments have the skills needed to contribute to making the librarys services the best. Mission & Strategic Plan Although 71% of respondents said they know and understand the Librarys strategy and mission, the majority of them did not agree with any of the statements relating to the Librarys mission and strategic plan. Respondents generally feel that the Librarys current strategy and mission are not well implemented and that the Library does not have a clear sense of direction. In addition, participants generally indicated that the Executive Leadership Team of the Library has not communicated a vision of the Librarys future that motivates them. Pay & Benefits With relation to pay and benefits, respondents most agree with the statements, my vacation and sick leave is adequate and the majority of my work is within the framework of my job description. However, when it came to other aspects about their pay and benefits, respondents were fairly split between full time employees, who gave higher ratings, and part time employees, who gave lower ratings.
Segment Analysis Summary

The following descriptions summarize the statistical findings from the Segment Analysis portion of the report. Analysis by Employment Status Results show that on average, part time employees are more satisfied in all areas than are full time employees. Part time employees seem to be more agreeable when it comes to their supervisor/manager, the provision of Library services, the Library mission and strategic plan, job satisfaction, communication, and concern for employees. The only exception is regarding pay and benefits, where full time employees, on average, are significantly more satisfied with most aspects of their pay and benefits than are part time employees. However, part time employees agreed more than full time employees with the following statement: The majority of my work is within the framework of my job description. Analysis by Job Title For this portion of the analysis, respondents were categorized into six segments based on their job title: Group 1: Manager, ELT Member Group 2: Circulation Specialist, Librarian, Senior Librarian Group 3: Support Services Specialist, Admin Secretary, Digital Media Specialist, Associate Librarian, Support Services Associate, Computer Associate, Tech Specialist, Account Specialist, Computer Specialist Group 4: Gardener, Lead Custodian, Maintenance Technician, Custodial Assistant, Delivery Tech, Custodian, Branch Custodian, Gardening Assistant Group 5: Computer Assistant, Library Assistant, Tech Services Assistant Group 6: Library Aide, Technician, Processing Aide Those employees working as custodians, gardeners, and maintenance people (Group 4) rated aspects about their immediate supervisor or manager lower, on average, than the other groups of employees. Employees in groups Four, Five, and Six, on average, were more agreeable in their rating of statements regarding Library services, Library mission and strategic plan, job satisfaction, and communication, than were other groups. The only exception is for the statements regarding pay and benefits, where
employees in Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 gave more favorable ratings than those in Groups 5 and 6. When asked to rate how much they agree or disagree with various statements regarding communication, employees in Group 2 gave much lower ratings when the statements involved the Executive Leadership Team. Analysis by Library Location On average, branch employees were more satisfied with their immediate supervisor/manager than were The Main Library employees. When asked to rate how much they agree with various statements regarding communications, branch employees, on average, were more agreeable than The Main Library employees. In response to the statements, The Executive Leadership Team communicates information that I need to know about the Library, and The Executive Leadership Team encourages open and honest communication, both Main library and Branch employees assigned lower ratings than for any other statement regarding communication. When asked to rate how much they agree with various statements regarding concern for employees, branch employees, on average, were more agreeable than The Main Library employees with the following statements: My immediate supervisor/manager cares about the staff and volunteers My immediate supervisor/manager responds to my problems in a fair manner Overall Satisfaction Analysis of Supervisor/Manager The aspects listed in the table below were found to be significant contributors to respondents overall satisfaction with their immediate supervisor or manager. The significant aspects are listed in order of significance. The Beta values are also listed below, which can be seen as a measurement of how much that aspect impacts respondents overall satisfaction.
