| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of knowledge acquisition and organizational behavior on the job performance of public librarians in Rasht. The present study is practical and correlational. The statistical population included librarians of public libraries in Rasht who were working in 1398. Subjects of this study were 80 librarians from libraries who were selected using available sampling method. The research instruments consisted of researcher-made questionnaires of organizational behavior, knowledge acquisition questionnaire and employees' job performance questionnaire whose validity was confirmed through content validity method and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between variables and regression method was used to predict the librarians' job performance through knowledge acquisition and organizational behavior. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant and positive correlation between knowledge acquisition and job performance (r=0.29, P <0.01). There was also a significant and positive correlation between organizational behavior and job performance (r=0.30, P <0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis show that knowledge acquisition and organizational variables account for 9% of job performance changes. Given the findings, designing and holding librarians' training programs and workshops is essential to informthem about the training of all kinds of knowledge, as well as to create a favorable work and work environment and its impact on job performance. In this way, by improving the librarians' knowledge of libraries, their job performance will improve. | ||
