Introduction: Choose a Job You Love…
Abstract
Chapter 1 introduces the purpose of the work by briefly discussing concepts such as job satisfaction and the impact emotion can have on an individual in the work setting. It establishes the particular scope of the work – that is, academic librarianship to include community college librarianship – while leaving itself open geographically. The chapter briefly introduces the concepts of emotional labor, emotional exhaustion, and burnout, describing why it is important to study these concepts within academic librarianship at both the individual and the organizational level. The chapter also introduces emotion-related concepts and effects for the individual and organizational levels, not limiting itself to the context of academic librarianship. It also briefly examines workplace bullying and academic incivility. The chapter also introduces the topic of why the emotional dimensions of academic librarianship have not been more studied, acknowledging that the authors will propose some issues but recognizing that more research is needed to fully understand the emotional dimensions of academic librarianship before more meaningful and focused solutions can be identified.
