Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the effects of the learning organization characteristics in public libraries on the innovative work behavior of librarians. In this analysis, 113 librarians from 15 public libraries in the Seoul Metropolitan Area of South Korea were surveyed to investigate the learning organization characteristics of libraries and innovative work behavior. Through a multiple regression analysis of learning organization characteristics and innovative work behavior, it was found that, among the sub-factors of learning organization characteristics, creating continuous learning opportunities and creating systems to capture and share learning had a positive effect on idea realization among the sub-factors of innovative work behavior. From this, it was interpreted that public libraries should increase financial and non-financial support for librarians to learn and also that libraries should create various systems such as electronic bulletin boards and meetings in which librarians can share their learning. Moreover, the sub-factors of learning organization characteristics were found to have no effect on idea generation and idea promotion among the sub-factors of innovative work behavior, which indicated that it will be necessary to identify the organization characteristics that affect idea generation and idea promotion. This study is significant in that it identified the sub-factors of learning organization characteristics that promote the innovative work behavior of public library librarians.

본 연구는 공공도서관의 학습조직 특성이 사서의 혁신행동에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 한국의 수도권에 위치한 공공도서관 15곳의 사서 113명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 도서관의 학습조직 특성과 혁신행동에 대하여 조사하였다. 학습조직 특성과 혁신행동에 대한 다중회귀분석 결과, 학습조직 특성의 하위 요인 중 학습 기회 창출과 학습 체계 구축은 혁신행동의 하위 요인 중 아이디어 구현에 정적(+) 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 공공도서관들은 사서들의 학습을 위하여 재정적, 비재정적 지원을 강화하고 사서들의 학습을 공유할 수 있는 전자게시판, 회의 등 다양한 체계를 구축할 것을 제안하였다. 이와 함께 학습조직 특성의 하위 요인들은 혁신행동의 하위 요인 중 아이디어 생성과 아이디어 홍보에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타나 아이디어 생성과 아이디어 홍보에 영향을 미치는 조직 특성을 밝혀야 할 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 공공도서관 사서들의 혁신행동을 강화하는 학습조직 특성의 하위 요인들을 밝혀냈다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
