Personality is one among the many factors that act as a source of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has been identified as an important topic in organizational research due to its many effects on the overall well-being of the organization. Personality is one of the antecedents of job satisfaction. This study aims to explore the level of personality, job satisfaction and routineness or working condition among library employees and the relationship between these three factors. A survey has been conducted in the libraries of the University of Calcutta. The sample consisted of 100 library employees of University of Calcutta. A Questionnaire with three instruments was administered among the library employees to measure their job satisfaction, and five factor model of personality and routineness or working condition. The survey was carried out with the help of scales of personality traits, job satisfaction and routineness or working condition. It is revealed that there is significant difference in job satisfaction between genders, ages and service period. There is significant difference in personality trait also between male and female employees. There is significant difference in routineness between male and female employees under study.
