Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study that compare demographic characteristics (gender and work experiences) on organizational learning capabilities’ (OLC) among librarians. A research method using questionnaire was personally distributed to academic librarians in selected university libraries in Malaysia. A total of 186 (78%) of the respondents returned the questionnaire for further analysis. However, there was no evidence of difference on the perceptions between gender on the OLC’s dimensions (shared vision and mission, teamwork cooperation and systems thinking). Using ANOVA (One-Way Analysis of Variance) test, the results showed that there were significant differences on shared vision and mission and systems thinking among librarians with different years of working experience. The outcome of the study is expected to assist the librarians and academic libraries for improving the skills of acquiring knowledge and learning capabilities toward enhancing the knowledge performance.
