EMPLOYEES’ COMPETENCIES AND INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AS DETERMINANTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING CAPABILITIES (OLC)
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper examined the perceptions of librarians on OLC and knowledge performance and the relationships among OLC dimensions. A survey method using questionnaires was distributed to fifty librarians at one Malaysian public university library and thirty-six (72%) of the questionnaires were returned and usable for analyses. From the findings, the OLC’s dimensions on employees’ skills and competencies was ranked as the highest (mean=5.76) indicating that it was the most preferred response as perceived by the respondents. A moderate and positive relationship also existed between employees’ skills and competencies and knowledge performance (p<0.01, r=0.758). The findings were important to the librarians and the libraries for enhancing the skills of acquiring knowledge and learning capabilities for better knowledge performance. The importance of the study is expected to assist the academic library and interested researchers to provide effective baseline information in constructing a robust model for similar studies. This research is useful not only to the libraries but also to the organizations that use acquired knowledge and learning skills for their performance measurements.
