The study choose a quantitative approach where the questionnaires were used as instruments to collect data on information of determinants of quality performance of library staff in selected academic libraries in Ghana. Out of 151 questionnaires administered, 146 were obtained representing 96.6%. Smart PLS3 software was used to analyse the quantitative data collected. The convergent, discriminant validity assessment were all acceptable and within the thresholds. The hypotheses tested also indicated a positive relationship with the independent variables (Management Commitment, Training and Development, Employee Involvement, and Effective Communication) and the dependent variable (Quality Performance) except Strategic Planning.
