Abstract

The present research investigates how human resource management practices impacts the performance of library professionals working in Pakistani university libraries. Quantitative Research approach was used in this study. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) and multiple regression analysis are utilized to evaluate the relationships among the specified variables. Additionally, five hypotheses are developed and tested in order to uncover the connections between these variables. Findings of the study reflects that all hypotheses were rejected except for the fifth hypothesis, which asserts that "Decentralization is positively linked to the organizational performance of university libraries." It can be concluded that decentralization is indeed positively correlated with the organizational performance of university libraries in Pakistan. The strategic approach presented in this paper incorporates ideas and concepts from non-library contexts, amalgamating them to create a comprehensive solution that aligns with the contemporary goals of a library. The results of the study have the potentials to influence the overall performance of university libraries.
