Abstract

This research aims to measure the level of librarians’ human networks in places operated by a one-person librarian system among medical libraries in Korean hospitals and to analyze how the level of human network affects job satisfaction. After deriving the factors for measuring human network level and job satisfaction through literature reviews, the questionnaire was designed and the study was conducted using a web survey method using Google form. The survey was emailed to 60 one-person librarians in hospitals registered with the Korean Medical Library Association or the MEDLIS system, with a total of 31 librarians responding, with a response rate of 51.6%. The survey took two weeks from November 23 to December 7. Statistical verification to understand the relationship between the level of human network and job satisfaction of one-person librarian in hospitals showed that the higher the range (number of groups), frequency (frequency of contact), and intensity (degree of intimacy), excluding the size of the human network, the more positively the job satisfaction. Based on the results, in order to improve the job satisfaction of oneperson librarian in hospitals, the cooperative network to create a human network should be steadily expanded at the association, and hospital managers should be able to encourage librarians to actively participate in events including workshops. As a result, the association, managers, and librarians themselves should all make efforts to form an active human network.
