“…He stated the following indicators of change readiness: assessment for current change awareness; staff agility for pending change; rapid change for crisis response; and well-defined mechanism for change. Valmohammadi and Amidi (2020) supported this as they stated that it is the people who are the source of change because they are the ones who will either embrace or resist change. When people are change-ready, they are more invested in the change itself, show more effort and demonstrate persistence against setbacks.…”

“…This was supported by Repovs et al (2019) who added that the two concepts should be studied simultaneously to understand change-related attitudes. Change readiness is viewed as an intervention for minimizing change resistance (Rusly, 2015), has an impact on shaping the knowledge acquisition process (Rusly et al, 2015;Valmohammadi and Amidi, 2020), and a mediating role between performance and total quality management (Iqbal and Arar-ul-Haq, 2018).…”

PurposeThis paper seeks to explore how library management in academic and school institutions has been adapting to the changes brought about by the global COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses how their priorities have shifted in reinventing their strategic plans and innovative library responses; and their readiness to meet new expectations to support their communities, as necessitated by the changes.Design/methodology/approachEmploying the change readiness concept as a framework, it encompasses inquiry into the library management's response to the changes in the service and work environments at the onset of change, while in the process of adapting to the current changes, and readiness to the perceived changes in the next normal future service environment. Quantitative design was employed for this study, and self-selection strategy as a non-probability sampling technique was used in collecting data from respondents. Target respondents were head librarians. An online questionnaire was used as instrument for data gathering, which was tested valid and reliable.FindingsFindings reveal that respondents have achieved quite a lot in preparing to adapt to change and generally agree that they are ready to deal with the perceived, future-wise changes in all aspects.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was open to all types of libraries as subjects; however, one-person libraries were excluded. Being self-selected, the respondent group for this study is not a true representative of the target population. Data analysis was strictly based on the gathered results.Practical implicationsThe study offers insights on the value of integrating measures pertinent to the emergence of new roles and needs in the changing service environment.Originality/valueThe results of the study are seen to have a potential contribution to the library organization's growth as they oversee their operations, prospectively.

Purpose The purpose of this article is to propose a standardization model that contributes to the creation of organizational knowledge in the paper industry. This study was oriented to answer the question: how to create organizational knowledge through the standardization model of the paper industry’s production system? Design/methodology/approach This research was applied in the main production unit of the paper organization. The data were collected through the analysis of documents, systems and routines of the researched unit. In the research, the observation technique and direct documentation were used. For the operationalization of the research, the following phases were carried: understanding of the applied standardization model, literature review on the research topics, formulation of a standardization model and application of the model. Findings A model of standardization of production processes that contributes to the creation of organizational knowledge, in which a correlation of all its stages with the Knowledge conversion modes was found and validated through an applied research in the industry. Research limitations/implications This study is applied in a paper industry. In the survey, there is no comparison with other companies. The adaptation of the study in other industries and organizations can increase knowledge about the connection of standardized systems with knowledge conversion modes, adjusting them to other environments or other situations. Originality/value This study stands out for empirically testing, a standardization model that favors the creation of knowledge through the analysis of the various activities in a paper industry, providing a real connection between the knowledge management literature and the organizational environment. Standardization can represent an instrument of innovation in the most diverse types of industry, as long as it comes with a proposal for something new and better than the existing model.
