The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of reading activity of employees in public libraries on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment which was suggested by previous studies proving the relationship among the variables in the business area. The results from the survey indicate that there were significant differences in job satisfaction, satisfaction with human relationship, satisfaction of self-realization, affective commitment, and continuance commitment in terms of the frequency of participation in a book club. Additionally, the number of employees' reading books and hours spent for reading significantly influenced their job satisfaction and the hours spent for reading significantly influenced affective commitment. It was also found that participation continuity for a book club influenced on satisfaction level of social recognition, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Job satisfaction level had a complete mediation effect between reading hours and affective commitment, and satisfaction from social recognition had a complete mediation effect between participation continuity in a reading meeting, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Based on these results, this study suggests a plan for constructing a good environment for employees to read through introducing a reading management as follows. Firstly, managers of public libraries need to take an active interest in reading management and various programs to encourage employees to read need to be provided. Secondly, public libraries are required to encourage their employees' participation in book clubs and support them, so that the employees are able to participate in the book club consistently. Finally, institution-level consistent motivation is needed for an active reading activity.

본 연구는 공공도서관의 서비스 성과 향상을 위해 경영활동에서 고려되어야 할 요소와 개선 방법을 논의하는 것을 목적으로 공공도서관 5개관을 선정, 이용자 서비스를 담당하는 사서들을 대상으로 개별 심층면담을 진행하여 조직의 서비스 지향성(Service Orientation)에 대한 접점 직원의 인식을 조사, 그들의 서비스 태도와 행동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 그 결과 공공도서관 접점 직원들은 도서관의 다양한 서비스 중 이용자서비스의 중요도가 저평가되어 있고, 이에 대한 조직의 목표관리와 지원은 취약하다고 인식하고 있었으며 특히 서비스 지향성의 4가치 차원 중 서비스리더십, 인적자원관리의 측면은 서비스 동기에 직접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 이에 이용자서비스를 사서직 전문성이 발현되어야 할 핵심 영역으로 재인식, 이를 강화하기 위한 전략적 접근의 필요성을 제안하였다.
