Religiosity to Improving the Performance of Librarian

Abstrak

The relationship between religiosity and performance can be seen from work
activities. There are five dimensions of religiosity that can be seen and assessed in
everyday life namely, the dimensions of religious belief, religious practices, religious
feelings, religious effects, and religious knowledge. This study aims to determine a
person’s level of religiosity at work. This study uses a qualitative research method with a
phenomenological approach. Data collection was carried out using field observation
techniques, interviews and documentation. The informants in this study were librarians
who worked in university libraries in West Sumatra. The results obtained from this study
are that there are three dimensions of religiosity that affect the performance of librarians
including the dimensions of religious belief, the dimensions of religious feelings and the
dimensions of religious effects. Meanwhile, the two dimensions of religiosity that did
not have a positive effect on the performance of librarians were the dimensions of
religiosity practices and the dimensions of religiosity practices of religious knowledge.
Thus it can be concluded that religiosity affects library performance.
