ABSTRACT

This study aimed to develop a valid measurement tool to quantitatively assess the level of self-management among librarians and to examine the structural relationships among perceived self-management, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. A survey was conducted with librarians working in public libraries located in Seoul, South Korea, and the collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of the analysis revealed the following: First, self-management among public library librarians had a positive effect on both job commitment and job satisfaction. Additionally, job commitment and job satisfaction had significant positive effects on organizational performance. Notably, job commitment and job satisfaction were identified as key factors in determining organizational performance. Various strategies to enhance these factors hold practical significance, as they can make a substantial contribution to improving organizational outcomes. It can be systematically developed as a training and coaching program for self-management at the organizational level of the library, and established as a key strategy for fostering an autonomous working environment.
