Abstract

Information security is a critical issue in all organizations. The success of information security in libraries depends, to a large extent, on the effective behavior of administrators, librarians, users and all human staff. Accordingly, this study aims to design a model for identifying human factors affecting information security in libraries.,This study is applied in terms of research objectives and is a survey in terms of data collection. Moreover, it goes under the rubric of structural equation modeling in terms of the relationship between variables. The statistical population consisted of 100 managers and librarians of academic and public libraries of Hamadan in Iran. A questionnaire was used for data collection. The face and content validity of the questionnaire were examined using the expert’s opinions in the field of Iranian libraries. Also, the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 and Smart PLS 2.,The results showed that among the components of information security, the highest score was designated to self-esteem (4.11 ± 0.57) and level of skill (4.07 ± 0.59), whereas the lowest score belonged to the level of education (3.51 ± 0.74). Ranking human factors affecting information security showed that experience with Rank 1 had the most impact, whereas the level of skill with Rank 6 had the least impact on information security.,In this study, for the first time, a model was designed and tested for human factors affecting information security in libraries. Information security professionals, librarians and library and information science researchers can exploit this model in the future.

影响图书馆信息安全的人为因素
信息安全是所有组织的关键问题。图书馆信息安全的成功在很大程度上取决于管理员、图书馆员、用户和所有人类工作人员的有效行为。据此,本研究旨在设计一个影响图书馆信息安全的人为因素识别模型。本研究在研究目的上是应用性的,在数据收集上是调查性的。此外,根据变量之间的关系,它属于结构方程建模的范畴。统计人口包括伊朗哈马丹学术和公共图书馆的100名管理人员和图书管理员。数据收集采用问卷调查。使用伊朗图书馆领域的专家意见对问卷的表面和内容有效性进行了检查。通过Cronbach’s alpha系数计算问卷的信度。数据分析采用SPSS 16和Smart PLS 2。结果表明,在信息安全的构成要素中,自尊(4.11±0.57)和技能水平(4.07±0.59)得分最高,教育水平(3.51±0.74)得分最低。对影响信息安全的人为因素排序显示,具有第1等级的经验对信息安全的影响最大,而具有第6等级的技能水平对信息安全的影响最小。本研究首次设计并检验了影响图书馆信息安全的人为因素模型。信息安全专业人员、图书馆员以及图书馆和信息科学研究人员可以在未来利用这一模型。
