Abstract

PurposeThe current study aims to gauge the association between HRM practices and performance in academic libraries in India.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a quantitative approach to collect data. A total of 163 participants were included in this study. The sample was selected from 21 academic libraries. PLS-SEM, the main data analysis technique, was employed in the current research using the Smart PLS-4 software. The data for this study was collected through a survey conducted between March 1, 2022, and June 30, 2022.FindingsThe current study highlighted a significant positive correlation between HRM practices and performance. Moreover, the results indicated that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between training and performance among library professionals in academic libraries.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was limited to the University Libraries in northern India. It was not possible to cover all the academic libraries, because India has a large geographical area; it is the seventh-largest country in the world, with an area of 3.3 million square kilometres.Practical implicationsEmployees play a vital role in addressing these concerns in their pursuit of sustainability because they are integral elements of organisations and a significant source of competitive advantage. This may be achieved through good human resource management, which involves defining performance indicators, teaching employees to empower them to achieve organisational goals and recognising their accomplishments. This study has the potential to enhance scholarship, particularly in the domains of “human resource management” and library management. This study can also be used by future academics interested in organisational behaviour, organisational effectiveness, job satisfaction, commitment and performance appraisal.Originality/valueThis study could be used as an empirical standard in decision-making policies aimed at improving employee performance and enhancing the smooth implementation of library management.

通过PLS-SEM绘制人力资源管理实践与图书馆员工绩效的关联:学术图书馆的案例研究

目的本研究旨在评估印度学术图书馆人力资源管理实践与绩效之间的关系。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用定量方法收集数据。共有163名参与者参与了这项研究。样本选自21所大学图书馆。PLS-SEM是主要的数据分析技术，在当前的研究中使用Smart PLS-4软件。本研究的数据是通过2022年3月1日至2022年6月30日期间进行的一项调查收集的。发现当前的研究强调了人力资源管理实践与绩效之间的显著正相关。此外，研究结果表明，工作满意度在高校图书馆专业人员培训与绩效之间起中介作用。研究局限性/含义这项研究仅限于印度北部的大学图书馆。不可能覆盖所有的学术图书馆，因为印度的地理面积很大；它是世界第七大国家，面积330万平方公里。实际意义员工在追求可持续发展的过程中，在解决这些问题方面发挥着至关重要的作用，因为他们是组织的组成部分，也是竞争优势的重要来源。这可以通过良好的人力资源管理来实现，包括定义绩效指标，教导员工实现组织目标，并认可他们的成就。这项研究有可能提高学术水平，特别是在“人力资源管理”和图书馆管理领域。这项研究也可供未来对组织行为、组织有效性、工作满意度、承诺和绩效评估感兴趣的学者使用。原创性/价值本研究可作为决策政策的实证标准，旨在提高员工绩效，促进图书馆管理的顺利实施。
