Abstract

Abstract The present study aimed to rank the factors affecting the appointment of health library at central libraries of Iranian universities of medical sciences through employing the analytic network process. The statistical population of this applied study comprised the research directors and deputies as well as managers and assistants of central libraries of three universities of medical sciences of whom 12 were selected through the census method. Data were collected via a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using the decision-making techniques of ANP in Super Decisions 2.0.8. Results revealed that among criteria related to occupational factors, honesty and integrity obtained a higher rank. Out of the criteria related to organizational factors, familiarity with organizational technology and perception of objectives and strategies were two high-ranked criteria. Finally, from the criteria related to environmental factors, familiarity with the customer was ranked top, while familiarity with economic factors was ranked as the least important determinant. This study was aimed at offering a framework for step-by-step ranking of major criteria in the selection and recruitment of library directors in libraries for health professions education/academic health sciences libraries.

摘要本研究旨在采用分析网络法对影响伊朗医科大学中央图书馆健康图书馆任命的因素进行排名。这项应用研究的统计人群包括三所医学科学大学的研究主任和副主任以及中央图书馆的管理人员和助理，其中12人是通过人口普查方法选出的。数据通过研究人员制作的问卷收集，并使用超级决策2.0.8中ANP的决策技术进行分析。结果显示，在与职业因素相关的标准中，诚实守信的排名较高。在与组织因素相关的标准中，熟悉组织技术和对目标和战略的感知是两个排名较高的标准。最后，从与环境因素相关的标准来看，对客户的熟悉程度排名第一，而对经济因素的熟悉程度则是最不重要的决定因素。这项研究旨在为卫生专业教育/学术卫生科学图书馆图书馆馆长的选拔和招聘的主要标准提供一个循序渐进的排名框架。
