Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the relationships between the perceptions of library and information science (LIS) professionals about organizational culture (OC) and lifelong learning (LLL) in the university libraries of Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a positivist paradigm and quantitative research method to examine the relationships between OC and the dimensions of LLL among the LIS professionals in the university libraries of Pakistan. Using a stratified sampling technique, data were collected, through a structured questionnaire, from a sample of 226 LIS professionals (out of N = 545) working in 97 university libraries of the country.FindingsThe results of the study found that the respondents’ perceptions about OC had positively correlated with their LLL in the study context. All the dimensions of OC predicted respondents’ LLL practices in the study context.Practical implicationsThis study has practical implications for library leadership and LIS professionals to determine how the university libraries are likely to behave with LLL practices to accomplish the target goals.Social implicationsThe results of this study can be used as supporting source and rationale for university libraries to develop strategic plans and policies for implementing LLL practices among LIS professionals of academic libraries.Originality/valueThe published literature shows the absence of any credible research carried out to know the influence of OC on LLL of LIS professionals.
巴基斯坦大学图书馆信息专业人员组织文化与终身学习的关系分析
目的探讨巴基斯坦高校图书馆信息科学专业人员对组织文化(OC)和终身学习(LLL)的认知之间的关系。设计/方法/方法本研究采用实证范式和定量研究方法来检验组织文化与终身学习维度之间的关系在巴基斯坦大学图书馆的LIS专业人员中。采用分层抽样技术,通过结构化问卷从226名LIS专业人员(N = 545)在全国97所大学图书馆工作。研究结果发现,在研究背景下,受访者对OC的认知与LLL呈正相关。OC的所有维度都预测了受访者在研究背景下的LLL实践。实践意义本研究对图书馆领导层和LIS专业人员确定大学图书馆在LLL实践中如何实现目标具有实际意义。社会含义本研究的结果可作为大学图书馆制定在学术图书馆LIS专业人员中实施LLL实践的战略计划和政策的支持来源和依据。原创性/价值已发表的文献表明,缺乏任何可信的研究来了解OC对LIS专业人员LLL的影响。
