Abstract - This study investigates the level of job satisfaction among library and information science (LIS) professionals employed in government and aided first grade colleges of Bangalore District. A total of 52 librarians participated in the survey, providing insights into their perceptions of salary, promotion, job security, work environment, ICT infrastructure, organizational culture, and personal growth. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that while a majority of the respondents are satisfied with their monetary benefits and job security, concerns remain regarding promotional opportunities, recognition, and ICT facilities. The study suggests the need for strengthening institutional policies that support professional growth, ensure adequate infrastructure, and provide recognition mechanisms for enhancing job satisfaction.
Keywords - Job Satisfaction, LIS Professionals, Bangalore Colleges, Organizational Culture, ICT Infrastructure..
