TITLE : SEMBLANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES IN THE AGRICULTURAL LIBRARIES ACROSS NORTHERN INDIA: AN EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
ABSTRACT: Human Resource Development is incomplete without organizational development, which teaches employees to adapt to change, seize opportunities, and improve over time. The study aimed to explore the viewpoints of library personnel on various organizational development strategies and to evaluate these viewpoints in relation to gender, age demographics, job titles, and responsibilities within the organization. The ongoing research relies mainly on first-hand data gathered from employees, including both regular and designated staff, employed at libraries associated with agricultural universities in the northern states of India. Top of FormThis survey was a descriptive study. This study involved 96 library professionals employed in diverse agricultural libraries across several northern Indian states. Statistical techniques like percentages, means, standard deviations, t-tests, and analysis of variance were utilized to analyse the collected data. The study findings indicated that most library staff members were satisfied with the organizational development strategies implemented by their institutions, and it was observed that gender did not impact employees’ professional development within the organization. While no gender difference was observed with organizational development practices. Furthermore, it was determined that respondents in younger age groups were less happy with organizational development practices than professionals over the age of fifty years.
