Role of Strategic Human Resource Management and the Development of Information Systems for the Enhancement of Libraries

Abstract

Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a significant role in incorporating HRM into the library planning procedure, which enhances Human Resource (HR)'s capacity to foresee the requirements of its users. Efficiently managing the HR of a library is crucial for achieving the library's objectives. The synchronization of HRM refers to the integration of choices about employees with decisions regarding the desired goals of a business. The primary fields of concentration should be diversity, hiring, preservation, personnel growth, and workers' quality. When these tasks are effectively organized and executed, they contribute to achieving the library's objective by using individuals with appropriate expertise in suitable roles.
The study's primary goals were to evaluate the current state of HRM, its impact on strategic leadership, and the growth of library Information Systems (IS) projects and services. To achieve these goals, the researcher used the case study. The sample only consisted of Libraries with abundant resources, encompassed a minimum of 0.1 million bound quantities, offered access to digital Databases, and employed at least four qualified librarians throughout the data collecting period. Some libraries had already begun the planning procedure, while others were on the verge of starting it. This research included a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The data collection tools used were self-administered and semi-structured surveys. The findings indicate a robust correlation between HRM and the advancement of strategic planning in libraries. The growth of workers, staff inspiration, and work happiness should be considered.
