“…Descriptive and correlational analysis SEM helps in evaluating the association among multi element constructs in a multi element context to determine correlation among independent and dependent variables in a concurrent manner rather than in a sequence (Rafi et al, 2020;Li et al, 2017). The results regarding descriptive and correlation are presented in Table 2.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of paternalistic leadership (benevolent, moral and authoritarian) on knowledge sharing of nurses through the mediation of organizational commitment (affective, continuance and normative). Further, the study examines the moderating role of Islamic work ethics on the association between organizational commitment and knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach In this quantitative study, data was collected from 312 nurses working in the health-care sector of Pakistan through “Google Forms” in two waves. Moreover, structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The study noted affective and normative commitment as mediators between the associations of benevolent, moral and authoritarian leadership with knowledge sharing, whereas continuance commitment was not found as an explaining variable. In addition, Islamic work ethics was found to strengthen the association of affective and normative commitment with knowledge sharing. However, Islamic work ethics was found to weaken the association between continuance commitment and knowledge sharing. Practical implications This study offers practical insights for health-care executives to act as fatherly figures to enhance the knowledge sharing of their nurses. The study recommends that managers in the health-care system build such an environment that helps nurses follow Islamic work ethics. It may enhance their level of organizational commitment and encourage them to engage in knowledge sharing behaviors to have a successful work environment. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is the first to extend the literature on paternalistic leadership. More specifically, this study investigated how various dimensions of paternalistic leadership (benevolent, moral and authoritarian) effects three-dimensional commitment (affective, continuance and normative) to enhance knowledge sharing behavior among nurses.

Wayfinding from the users perspective: the connection between user experience and library wayfinding This special section presents four papers related to research in user experience and wayfinding. It covers topics related to using new technology in conducting wayfinding research, analysing survey data to understand the e-service need of library users and knowledge management need for the management and investigating how users navigate bibliographic families.More research studies have used new technologies, such as eye-movement-tracking devices, to study user behaviour in recent years. Su et al. (2022) report a study using such a device to explore how library patrons interact with the university library signage system design. Their study used an eye-movement-tracking device to capture patrons' eye movement during their wayfinding process in the library interior. They discovered that the route strategy users most attended the informational signage, and the orientation strategy users rarely focussed on the directional signage. Also, participants with high anxiety tended to ignore the visually auxiliary function of the landmarks but paid attention to the directional signage, whereas participants with low anxiety would capture the landmarks that the route strategy users could not easily find. Further, participants who were less familiar with the environment were more sensitive to the landmarks. The authors report the optimisation measures for the university library wayfinding signage system based on their findings. Besides signage, readers may also note that Internet of Things (IoT) technologies (Khan et al., 2021) are also useful for wayfinding, especially for people with impaired vision (Cheung et al., 2021).In a modern library, most services are provided through electronic systems. Therefore, understanding library users' need for these e-services is essential for academic librarians. In their paper, Umukoro and Tiamiyu (2022) presented a replicated study that shows that service quality, user satisfaction, e-service environment and user factors are predictors of the use of eservices. This finding can help system administrators, designers, library administrators and managers design, implement and use information systems in the library. Readers may also be interested in reading Naeini et al. (2019) about the adoption of mobile services in the libraries of the world's top universities. As for service evaluation, readers may refer to the work of Wang et al. (2019) and Kerr and Pennington (2018). Such evaluations can effectively hint at measures for designing innovative services (W ojcik, 2019).Another major usage of the electronic system in libraries is knowledge management. In their study, Rafi et al. (2022) tested the four components of performance evaluation within a knowledge management framework to develop appropriate and robust models for improving employee performance and library services. Their result suggests that academic leaders and policymakers value investment in the professional development of top library...
