Research Agenda: Research Ideas and Recommendations
Abstract
We have attempted throughout this book to highlight the importance of understanding emotional labor, emotional exhaustion, and burnout. We have attempted to underline the fact that these topics have direct bearing on academic librarianship, given the very nature of the profession. We have discovered that there is a dearth of literature on this topic within the profession, which seems ill-advised, given the significant individual and organizational impacts that emotion can have. However, it is not enough to promote awareness and highlight gaps; we recognize that we have an obligation to address these gaps. To that end, this chapter presents a kind of research agenda, proposing research ideas and approaches to that research intended to fill in the gaps and elucidate phenomena. Without a clearer picture of these issues, it will be much more difficult to identify and develop meaningful, effective solutions that adequately address the experiences and practices of academic librarianship. The chapter highlights specific areas of academic librarianship, profession-specific stressors, and related concepts.
