Abstract

The effects of the constantly changing environment on human life and the development of the IT and technology sector have forced public institutions and IT specialists to work efficiently to meet all the different information demands from society. It is important for information professionals in the field of information science to show effective leadership characteristics while making various management decisions in the institutions they manage and to receive training in conflict communication and information management. Equipped information professionals are of great importance not only for leaders, but also for the more functional functioning of all lower and upper management levels of the organization. Taking these situations into account, academic studies can be put forward and management and communication studies can be developed in information centers. In the first part of the study, a literature review was conducted; in the second part, the findings of the semi-structured review were analyzed, and suggestions suitable for the analysis of research findings were put forward in the conclusion part. The research data of the study can be used to test the effect of contextual factors on the relationship between information center users and information center managers.

BİLGİ MERKEZLERİNDE ETKİLİ LİDERLİK İLETİŞİMİ YÖNTEMLERİ: UNIKOP BÖLGESİNDEKİ ÜNİVERSİTE KÜTÜPHANELERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Sürekli değişen çevrenin insan yaşamı üzerindeki etkileri ve bilişim ve teknoloji sektörünün gelişmesi, kamu kurumlarını ve bilişim uzmanlarını toplumdan gelen tüm farklı bilgi taleplerini karşılamak için verimli çalışmaya zorlamıştır. Bilgi bilimi alanındaki bilgi profesyonellerinin, yönettikleri kurumlarda çeşitli yönetim kararları alırken etkili liderlik özellikleri göstermeleri ve çatışma iletişimi ve bilgi yönetimi konusunda eğitim almaları önemlidir. Donanımlı bilgi profesyonelleri sadece liderler için değil, aynı zamanda organizasyonun tüm alt ve üst yönetim seviyelerinin daha işlevsel işleyişi için de büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu durum göz önünde bulundurularak akademik çalışmalar ortaya konulabilir ve bilgi merkezlerinde yönetim ve iletişim çalışmaları geliştirilebilir. Çalışmanın birinci bölümünde literatür taraması yapılmış; ikinci bölümünde ise yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmenin bulguları analiz edilmiş ve sonuç kısmında araştırma bulgularının analizine uygun öneriler ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri, bağlamsal faktörlerin bilgi merkezi kullanıcıları ve bilgi merkezi yöneticileri arasındaki ilişkinin etkisini test etmek için kullanılabilir.
