“…To understand the construct of workplace information literacy, it is necessary to define the term workplace’. Abram (2013) defines the workplace whereby workers are busy running the operations of the organization and delivering services to end-users like learners, customers, clients, patients, and the like. Information literacy in the workplace context is referred to as an essential set of skills needed in different professional domains for effective decision-making, problem-solving, and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage (Gardner, 2000; Karim and Hussein, 2008; Naveed, 2022).…”

A perusal of published literature on workplace information literacy indicated that the perception of employees’ information literacy skills at workplaces impacts the overall performance of organizations and possibly leads to improve related work competencies (Abram, 2013; Laksmi and Maldini, 2019; Naveed, 2022; Widén et al., 2021).

“…Information literacy performed at work is rarely the product of proficient searching by a single individual to meet a defined information need in the form of textual information held in a particular document, as might be the task for a conventional university assignment. Rather information needs, sources, and practices in the workplace are more diverse and complex, and not usually solved through adherence to a linear process of information search and retrieval by one person (Abram, 2013;Bruce, 1999;Crawford and Irving, 2009, p. 29;Hepworth and Smith, 2008;Kirton and Barham, 2005;Lloyd, 2005, 235;O'Farrill, 2008).…”
