Abstract : This study aimed to assess the level of career development and job performance of library personnel at National University in lieu of formulating a staff development plan. A descriptive-correlational research design was used in this research. The findings in this study are as follows: 1. The level of career development of library personnel in terms of trainings attended, skills and CPD is very high with weighted mean of 3.47. 2. The level of job performance of library personnel of the National University was “very high” with weighted mean of 3.48. 3. There is a significant relationship between career development and job performance among library personnel of National University since the p-value of 0.000 is lower than the significant level at 0.01. 4. A staff development plan needs to be developed to sustain the career development and job performance of library personnel of the National University. Based on the findings, the conclusions were drawn as follows: 1. The library personnel are highly committed to career development by attending training sessions, enhancing their skills and engaging in continuing professional development to become an effective and efficient employee. 2. Library personnel are highly capable, enabling them to perform their work effectively and contribute to the success of National University, reflecting their dedication, professional skills, and continuous development, which collectively enhance the overall efficiency and quality of library services. 3. The higher the level of career development, the higher is the level of job performance of the library personnel of the National University. 4. There is a need to implement and monitor the proposed action plan to sustain the library personnel’s career development and job performance at National University.
