Frankly, it's not something we like to talk about. There is an
unfortunate stigma to acknowledging workplace dysfunction, let
alone trying to grapple with the problem. But negative behaviors
such as incivility, toxicity, deviant behavior, workplace politics,
and team and leadership dysfunction not only make the library a
stressful workplace, they also run counter to the core values of
librarianship. An important tool for library leaders and managers
as well as library staff, this book examines these negative
relationship-based issues and suggests practical, research-based
solutions by discussing the importance of understanding oneself as
related to the library workplace; identifying attributes specific
to libraries that foster personal success; showing how
organizational dysfunction is rooted in problems such as poor
communication, inadequate leadership, and lack of employee
engagement; breaking down relatable scenarios to analyze what's
behind them and how to defuse them, ranging from a gossipy coworker
who fails to contribute to the organization to workplace bullying
and mobbing; exploring causes, results, and potential solutions in
the areas of cyberloafing, fraud, theft, and sabotage; delving into
the importance of conflict management, surveying a variety of
approaches and applications; examining the use of teams in
libraries and the impact of favoritism, nepotism, and sexism; and
providing techniques for successful collaboration, leadership,
organizational communication, and other key management topics. By
tackling the dysfunctional library head on, managers as well as
library workers who find themselves in a toxic situation will be
poised to better meet library goals and move the library forward.
