Abstract

The twenty first century have seen a lot of innovation and advancement in technology. Old ways of doing things especially in academic libraries have been modified and transformed with technologies that make work faster and easier and makes service delivery more effective. These technologies and the way they work have been termed digital transformation. However, whatever digital transformation direction a library takes is a function of the leadership. With the above in mind, this paper investigated leadership style as a predictor of digital transformation in private university libraries in western Nigeria. The survey research of the correlational type was used. The population of the study are librarians from six private universities in South west Nigeria. The questionnaire was the instrument for data collection. Findings revealed that transformational leadership was the predominant style of leadership in private university libraries with mean of 24.12; KOHA was the most recent platform for DT in the libraries studied; level of digital transformation was revealed to be high. The hypothesis tested was rejected as leadership style was revealed to be significantly correlated with digital transformation in libraries.  It is recommended that management of libraries should foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Building on the predominant transformational leadership style identified, private university libraries should continue to encourage a culture of continuous learning and innovation among library staff.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abad ke-21 telah menyaksikan banyak inovasi dan kemajuan dalam teknologi. Cara-cara lama dalam melakukan sesuatu, terutama di perpustakaan akademik, telah dimodifikasi dan diubah dengan teknologi yang membuat pekerjaan lebih cepat dan lebih mudah serta meningkatkan efektivitas penyampaian layanan. Teknologi-teknologi ini dan cara kerjanya disebut transformasi digital. Namun, arah transformasi digital yang diambil oleh perpustakaan adalah fungsi dari kepemimpinan. Dengan pemikiran tersebut, makalah ini menyelidiki gaya kepemimpinan sebagai prediktor transformasi digital di perpustakaan universitas swasta di Nigeria bagian barat. Penelitian survei tipe korelasional digunakan. Populasi penelitian adalah pustakawan dari enam universitas swasta di Nigeria bagian barat daya. Kuesioner adalah instrumen untuk pengumpulan data. Temuan mengungkapkan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional adalah gaya kepemimpinan yang dominan di perpustakaan universitas swasta dengan nilai rata-rata 24,12; KOHA adalah platform terbaru untuk transformasi digital di perpustakaan yang diteliti; tingkat transformasi digital terungkap tinggi. Hipotesis yang diuji ditolak karena gaya kepemimpinan terbukti berkorelasi signifikan dengan transformasi digital di perpustakaan. Disarankan agar manajemen perpustakaan mendorong budaya pembelajaran dan inovasi yang berkelanjutan. Berdasarkan gaya kepemimpinan transformasional yang dominan, perpustakaan universitas swasta harus terus mendorong budaya pembelajaran dan inovasi yang berkelanjutan di kalangan staf perpustakaan.

Abstract

Purpose. This research aims to investigate whether or not knowledge sharing would predict the intention to voluntarily leave a work place of librarians in private universities in southern states of Nigeria. Methodology. The survey research design of the correlational kind was used for this study to test the relationship between the variables. The sampling technique used total enumeration of the 308 librarians in all 46 private universities in Southern Nigeria. The instrument used was a questionnaire which was distributed physically and via Google Forms. The data analysis technique was simple statistics of percentages, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) for the hypothesis. Results and discussion. The results showed that knowledge sharing level of the respondent was high, they shared knowledge using informal channels and face to face interactions accounted for occasions they shared knowledge. It was also revealed that the turnover intention of the librarians was high. The results of the correlation test revealed that there was a negative correlation between knowledge sharing and turnover intention. Conclusions. The research results concluded that there was a significance negative relationship between knowledge sharing and turnover intention. This indicates that when knowledge sharing is high, the turnover intention of the librarians will be low. Improving the knowledge sharing attitudes of librarians through formulation of knowledge sharing policies that encourage knowledge sharing practices will lead to a decrease in turnover intention of the librarians.
