Quantitative analysis finds career development influences organizational performance in Sri Lanka's university libraries, suggesting job-related attitudes are key mediators.
Career development is a critical human resource practice that ensures the professional growth and retention of employees while supporting organizational success. In the context of university libraries, career development opportunities play a pivotal role in shaping the job-related attitudes of library professionals, which in turn influence institutional performance. This study aims to examine the impact of career development on organizational performance, with job-related attitudes acting as a mediating factor. Literature has been reviewed to cover all the variables depicted in the conceptual model, with theories, quotations and research findings in the appropriate places supporting the arguments. A quantitative approach and structured questionnaire were administered to 146 library professionals across seventeen state university libraries in Sri Lanka, with 132 valid responses (90%) collected.
