Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to determine Staff Performance Competencies and Information Security: An Analysis of the Role of Library Software System Development. The statistical population in the qualitative part was 18 specialists and professors in the field of information science and computer science, and in the quantitative part was the staff of the central libraries of the Islamic Azad Universities of Iran. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between functional competencies and information security management with the mediating role of library software system development. These results will be useful in identifying the effects of library software system development and staff performance competencies in information security management of libraries of the Islamic Azad Universities in Iran. This article is the only article that simultaneously examines the role of human factors and the role of non-human factors (software system development) in information security in academic libraries. Therefore, in the future, researchers may obtain more variables to obtain Combine a clearer picture of information security in libraries. This analysis helps researchers in the field of librarianship to understand the growth and development of software systems. This article is one of the first recent attempts to understand the research work in the field of library software system development by considering the role of staff performance competencies.
