“…This meant they faced a great number of operational problems while carrying out their duties, when the library was eventually opened. This also has caused them to become more dissatisfied with managers’ decisions (Akhshik and Parirokh, 2016). Therefore, it seems that as librarians have become more critical of the high-ranking managers, feelings of value congruence, loyalty and affective commitment have decreased among them.…”

Intrapreneurship as a transformational strategy in non-profit organizations, including libraries, requires special arrangements through improvement of employees’ cooperation and tendency to entrepreneurial activities. Organizational empowerment is a mechanism which not only influences the staff’s attitude toward the organization through creating/enhancing loyalty, value congruence, and affective commitment but also leads to self-empowerment. Consequently, it seems that organizational empowerment in librarians can be one of the contextual factors which can directly lead to more intrapreneurship in libraries. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the status of organizational empowerment, intrapreneurship and the effect of organizational empowerment on intrapreneurship in the university libraries of Iran. The research population of this questionnaire-based survey consisted of 105 individuals who come from two different classes of librarians in two top universities in Iran. Participants were selected from each class through stratified random sampling. The findings demonstrated that organizational empowerment and intrapreneurship did not enjoy adequate status within these two university libraries. In addition, the effect of organizational empowerment on intrapreneurship was confirmed.

Zmiany zachodzące w ostatnich latach nabierają tempa i obejmują niemal każdy obszar życia, także zawodowego. Dynamiczny rozwój technologii, Internetu i nowych mediów w dość krótkim czasie umożliwił profesjonalizację wielu dziedzin, które w różnych obszarach, w tym m.in. organizacyjnym, pozostawały wciąż w minionej epoce. Jednym z takich przykładów jest działalność instytucji kultury, a w szczególności bibliotek. Zaczęły one wychodzić z cienia organizacyjnego 1 m.in. za sprawą poszerzania oferty, sprostania oczekiwaniom i potrzebom czytelników, otwierania się na nową wiedzę z zakresu zarządzania i korzystania z niej, a co za tym idziesięgania po nowe, nieznane im do tej pory narzędzia. W artykule podjęto właśnie temat procesu zmian w obszarze zarządzania bibliotekami oraz jego odzwierciedlenia w artykułach naukowych. Celem publikacji jest próba uchwycenia na łamach wybranych zagranicznych czasopism naukowych z lat 2015-2020 światowych trendów w zarządzaniu bibliotekami różnego typu, które, choć w bardzo ograniczonym zakresie, pozwolą określić to, co wpływa lub będzie wpływać na teorię i praktykę bibliotekarską w Polsce.Autorki tekstu, chcąc dowiedzieć się, jakie są aktualnie najczęściej podejmowane przez badaczy tematy z obszaru zarządzania bibliotekami, sięgnęły do trzech wybranych zagranicznych czasopism naukowych -"Library Management", "Journal of Library Administration" oraz "Library Leadership & Management". Zastosowaną w badaniu metodą była analiza piśmiennictwa naukowego i naukowo-branżowego z dyscypliny bibliologia i informatologia 2 . 1 B. Czarniawska, Shadowing and Other Techniques for Doing Fieldwork in Modern Societies, Copenhagen 2007.2 Od 1 października 2018 r. dyscyplina naukowa bibliologia i informatologia weszła w skład nauk o komunikacji społecznej i mediach.

Purpose -Unlearning has been one of the interesting and debatable construct emerged in studies of organizational behaviour. Discussion on this phenomenon precedes from interdisciplinary realms ranging from psychology to pedagogy approaching towards arena of business studies. Studies often question the applicability of its existence and practical applications. Starting from the base of unlearning this paper attempts to enfolds the multi-foci perspectives associated with unlearning. Aiming to analyse the construct, this paper provides an insight to definitional notions, account of existing stream of work, its unit of analysis at individual and organizational level and finally discussion of routines structured on unlearning perspective. Design/methodology/approach -A systematic analysis and review is proposed in order to study streams of literature existing on phenomenon existing on unlearning. This systematic review will help in stating various definitional notions of unlearning, identifying the theoretical lenses applied, processes underlying the unlearning mechanism and extent of quantitative and qualitative studies carried out. Originality/value -As the study is conceptual in its nature, therefore it aims to contribute towards identifying and enhancing the literature of unlearningby identifying gaps and future avenues. Enlightening the applicability of unlearning in multiple sectors it enhances its dimensionality. Practical implications -Study can be helpful for managers and organizations, as unlearning is rooting from change management, which would provide new revelations for organization as useful tools. Review provides insights to areas which can be useful for future studies.
