Predictors of knowledge sharing behaviour on Sustainable Development Goals among library personnel in Nigeria

IFLA Journal, Volume 44, No. 2, Year 2018

The study was carried out to investigate the predictors of library personnel’s knowledge sharing behaviours and its implication for achieving sustainable development goals, using the theory of planned behaviour. Survey research design was adopted for the study whereby a structured questionnaire was used to elicit data from 100 registered library personnel in Anambra State, Nigeria. Total enumeration was adopted as the sampling technique to obtain the population sample. The study revealed that attitude, perceived behavioural control and subjective norm had a significant influence on knowledge sharing intention at P < 0.05. Also, knowledge sharing intention had a positive and significant influence on SDGs actualization. The study concluded that for library personnel to contribute greatly to the realization of Sustainable Development Goals, they must ensure effective knowledge sharing behaviour on Sustainable Development Goals-related information. Therefore, management of libraries should set up structures that foster knowledge sharing. Also, library personnel should develop themselves with the required skills and knowledge on Sustainable Development Goals, which will stimulate a high rate of knowledge sharing.
