The new conceptions; such as virtual reality, augmented reality, second life, metaverse, metamodernism, metaliteracy, and metalibrarian, have been discussed in the context of realworld libraries and librarians in the article. The organization of the article has been divided into four sections, which are interconnected with libraries and librarians. The first section starts with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies and underlines the important roles of the library and librarians. The second section continues the Second Life (SL), which is the preperiod of metaverse, and points out the importance of librarians and libraries. Finally, the fourth and last section focuses on the metaverse, as it is a new contradictory concept in the digital age, and discusses the metamodernism within the metaverse age by providing new roles and tasks for both libraries and librarians, which will be called “metalibrarian” thereafter. A systematic literature review has been used to position the role of metalibrarians among the other target groups such as educators, communicators, designers, et al. at the metamodernism age. As the existing literature indicates that metalibrarians have heavy duties on their shoulders to both design curricula for the metalibrary users, and manage information resources. Research has been proposed on the new roles, tasks, responsibilities, and competencies for metalibrarians to embrace the metaverse environment.

Violence against healthcare workers has several factors, but there are limited data on the association between violence against healthcare workers and the communication skills of healthcare workers. In this study, we examine the relationship between healthcare professionals’ communication skills and violent incidents experienced or witnessed by healthcare workers.MethodsThe sociodemographic and professional data of 296 healthcare professionals were obtained. All participants were assessed using a communication skills inventory. The total and categorical scores of the communication skills inventories were compared between participants who had been exposed to violence and those who had not.ResultsIt was found that the emotional score of individuals who had suffered more than one physical attack was lower than that of others (P = .037). In addition, nurses were found to have more verbal violent behavior experience than their counterparts. Other comparisons were found to be insignificant.DiscussionHealthcare professionals should not only evaluate complex problems such as violence in the health care but also emphasize the role of patients and their relatives. Violence against healthcare professionals cannot be based on a simple factor. We believe that there are many factors that lead to violence. The causes of violence in the health care should be examined by future studies.

Las estadísticas descriptivas, así como la correlación bivariada se han utilizado para encuestar los datos. Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de los estudiantes de pregrado en la Universidad del Cercano Oriente tienen un alto nivel de conciencia sobre el VIH, mientras que un número significativo de ellos no tiene suficiente conocimiento sobre el virus de la hepatitis. Se encontró una correlación positiva significativa entre el nivel de conciencia de la hepatitis y la actitud de los estudiantes hacia los esfuerzos de la familia para educarlos sobre enfermedades contagiosas. This study investigated the level of awareness of undergraduate students on HIV and Hepatitis viruses. Descriptive statistics as well as bivariate correlation has been used in order to survey the data. Results showed that the majority of undergraduate students at Near East University ha...

Healthcare professionals in Turkey were added to the study to observe the effect of ethical leadership on knowledge management. The questionnaire was sent to 414 healthcare professionals randomly selected from healthcare facilities operating in Turkey via Google Forms. All the response rates were 100%. Results indicate that healthcare professionals’ views of their supervisor’s use of ethical leadership behaviors are related to knowledge creation and development, knowledge codification and storage and knowledge usage and utilizing. Contrary to other studies, it has been observed that ethical leadership does not affect knowledge sharing, which is a process of knowledge management. It is considered that ...

Rastgele örneklem modeli ile seçilen 327 otel personeline "Örgütsel Çatışma Envanteri-II", "İzlenim Yönetimi Ölçeği" ve "İş Performansı Ölçeği" kapsamında anket soruları uygulanmıştır. Çalışma bulgularına göre; katılımcıların cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, işletmede çalışma süresi ve çalışılan departman değişkenlerinin iş performansı ile anlamlı ilişkisi olduğunun belirlenmesiyle birlikte (p<0.05), izlenim ve çatışma yönetimi ölçeklerinin de tüm demografik değişkenler ile anlamlı bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Ayrıca otel personelinin örgütsel çatışma tutumlarını etkileyen en önemli değişken çalışılan departman iken; izlenim tutumları için bu değişken işletmede çalışma süresi, iş performansında ise cinsiyet olarak bulunmuştur.

While it is not a new concept, the sharing of tacit knowledge at the social media environment has recently been discussed in the last decades. There are mainly two important approaches on sharing and capturing the tacit knowledge. The first one is about the possibility of sharing tacit knowledge by using social networks tools. For example Hildrum (2009) and Lopez-Nicolas and Soto-Acosta (2010) mentioned that IT can trigger sharing of the tacit knowledge. The second one argues that it is almost not possible to share tacit knowledge by using IT tools. Sagsan (2003) argued that according to the mental models, transmission stage is problematic which includes common sharing and diffusion within an organization among stakeholders. Likewise, Flanagin (2002), Johannessen et al, (2001), Hislop (2001) and Haldin-Herrgard (2000) argued that though tacit knowledge sharing via IT is almost impossible. This paper argues that social media can be used effectively to increase the tacit knowledge capacity. As the people need to be contacted from their preferred medium of choice (Fill, 2011) it will be suitable to use social networks to share the tacit knowledge within organizations. The empirical part of this study concentrated on physicians in order to understand how the tacit dimension of knowledge capacity could be diffused or captured. Questionnaire had been conducted to 138 physicians who works in North Cyprus and the regression models indicates that Seniority of Employees and the Speed of Adaption of Innovation affects both Tacit Knowledge Accumulation and Tacit Knowledge Transfer.
