| Summary: | Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a versatile statistical modeling tool which uses in the
social sciences research. Recently, in Library and Information Science (LIS) environment, structural
equation modeling has gained popularity across many disciplines, due perhaps to its generality and
flexibility. Its estimation techniques, modeling capabilities and breadth of application are expanding
rapidly. This paper reported a structural equation modeling through a Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(CFA) result, which involves 305 lead users at six selected Malaysian university libraries through an
online survey. This is to elicit opinion of the lead users on the relationship between Knowledge
Management Practice (KMP) and Library Users’ Satisfaction (LUS). AMOS 18 was utilized to analyze
research data. Furthermore, the major contribution of the paper is to provide groundwork empirical
evidence about knowledge management processes and its relations with Knowledge Management
Practice (KMP) at Malaysian university libraries. It is hoped that this structural model could be
accepted as a novelty model foundation in knowledge management practice in Library and Information
Science environment. |
