Abstract

Human capital is one of the most valuable resources of libraries. The age of librarians is a variable that may affect their attitudes and behaviours. The purpose of the paper is to pinpoint such correlations. The paper presents the results of research conducted among librarians in 20 countries of the world analysing the impact of age on individual social capital, social activity, social attitudes, civic engagement, level of trust, attitude to patrons and professional preferences. The research was conducted based on the Questionnaire for the Measurement of Individual Social Capital (KPIKS) developed by the Polish psychologist Rafa ł Sty ł a. The study confirms that there is a correlation between age and attitude and behavioural changes. The age of librarians statistically and significantly differentiates their behaviour and social attitudes. The results may be used in library management processes, e.g. in the area of task and role allocation.
图书馆员的时代是社会态度改变的推动者
人力资本是图书馆最宝贵的资源之一。图书馆员的年龄是一个变量,可能会影响他们的态度和行为。这篇论文的目的是找出这种相关性。本文介绍了在世界20个国家的图书馆员中进行的研究结果,分析了年龄对个人社会资本、社会活动、社会态度、公民参与、信任水平、对赞助人的态度和职业偏好的影响。这项研究是根据波兰心理学家拉法·斯蒂瓦阿开发的个人社会资本测量问卷(KPIKS)进行的。该研究证实,年龄、态度和行为变化之间存在相关性。图书馆员的年龄在统计学上显著地区分了他们的行为和社会态度。结果可用于图书馆管理过程,例如任务和角色分配领域。
