A Study of Knowledge Management Capability Impact on the Innovation Performance of human Library in Chinese Universities

Fei Gao, Kuncharee Kakhai

ABSTRACT:

As key organizers and managers of China's university human libraries, library librarians' knowledge management capabilities play a crucial and indispensable role in the establishment and promotion of these libraries. By fully harnessing the "knowledge flow" between "human books" and readers, librarians not only provide significant opportunities for the development of human libraries but also assist readers in discovering and activating latent knowledge, thereby fostering continuous improvement and innovative development within the human library context. Through theoretical research, it is found that China's university human libraries have recently entered a development downturn, and there is a significant research gap in the area of knowledge management. It is urgent for researchers to apply knowledge management concepts and tools to facilitate the design and implementation of activities in university human libraries. This paper presents a literature review on knowledge management capabilities, including relevant definitions, background theories, and dimensional components, in order to better explore ways to improve the innovation performance of human libraries in Chinese universities. The study also reveals that knowledge management capabilities have a direct impact on the innovative performance of China's university human libraries, and the researchers will use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to verify their positive correlation in the next phase of research.
