English abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of organizational structure on the learning and organizational innovation of librarians in Tabriz Public universities. Methods: This research method is a descriptive-survey. The statistical population of this study is 63 librarians of public university libraries in Tabriz. The data gathering tools were three questionnaires. The validity of the questionnaires was approved by five experts in the field of knowledge and information science and their opinions were employed for the improvement of the final questionnaires. To confirm the reliability of the questionnaires, Cronbach's alpha was used. Data analysis was confirmed as descriptive and inferential statistics employing SPSS software. Results: The obtained value of the Pearson correlation test showed that there is a positive significant correlation between organizational structure and organizational learning of librarians (r=0.32, p= 0.011). In addition, there is a positive significant correlation between organizational learning and formalization (r = 0.34, p < 0.05) and organizational learning and centralization (r = 0.28, p <0.05). However, there was not significant relationship between complexity and organizational learning (p >0.05). The results also showed that there is a positive significant correlation between organizational structure and organizational innovation of librarians. Other results showed that there is a positive significant correlation between organizational innovation and organizational learning of librarians. Conclusions: It seems that the main challenge for educational organizations is to support innovation, which facilitates the process of adaptation to many environmental changes. Therefore, it can be argued that choosing the appropriate organizational structure is one of the essential conditions for successful adaptation to the changes, and this will be possible through the continuous design of the organizational structure.
