The purpose of this study was to find out medical librarians' perceptions towards the importance of information literacy (IL) skills. A structured questionnaire, consisting of eight IL skills, was administered to the head librarians of all academic medical institutions in Pakistan. The respondents were asked to rate the importance of IL skills for their users on a 5-point Likert scale (1- Least important to 5-Most important). A total of 69 (60.5 %) usable questionnaires were returned out of 114 disseminated to the respondents. The IL skills about “accessing the needed information effectively and efficiently”, “identifying relevant, authoritative and reliable information sources”, “recognizing the need for information”, "verifying the relevance and quality of information sources” and “using information ethically and legally” got mean scores exceeding four from head librarians of both public and private sector medical institutions. However, IL skill "evaluating the information critically” received mean score less than four i.e., 3.94 from public sector medical librarians and IL skills "organizing information collected or generated in a logical way" and "using the selected information effectively to accomplish a specific task" although considered important but got lower mean scores (3.97 each) from private sector medical librarians. Respondents from both public and private sector medical institutions had considered all the eight IL skills important for their library users, meaning that library users must be adequately equipped with information competencies.

The retention of core employees is one of the challenges many of business organizations facing today. For many organizations, strategic staffing has become a concern because the ability to hold on to highly talented core employees can be crucial to future survival. This empirical study examined the current human resource management (HRM) practices of Higher education institution of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the retention of their core employees. In particular, the research identified the core elements of HRM practices, which strongly influence the decision for core employees to stay. With the rapid growth and introduction of new public and private sector universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, it became difficult to retain employees. The current study focuses on employees of both public and private sector universities in order to extract information about employee choice and critically examines HR practices and factors, which may influence employees to stay and work for organization. Analyzing the existing Human Resources Management literature, there are very few studies have been conducted regarding Human Resource Management practices on retention of core employees. This raises uncultivated issues such as: which factor of HRM, influences retention of core employees in higher education institution of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. These unexplored and uncultivated issues will be the focal point of this study. Furthermore, this study will explore & press forward the HRM literature on the rising trends of the 21st century.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how the institutional context influences human resource management (HRM) policies in the public and private sector in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The convergent parallel mixed methods approach was adopted for this study. Survey data were collected from 122 HR managers across public and private sector organizations in Nigeria as well as 13 qualitative interviews. ANCOVA was used to analyse quantitative data while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data in order to understand the influence of institutions on HRM in the public and private sector in Nigeria. Findings Findings indicate that while coercive, mimetic and normative institutional mechanisms influenced HRM in both the public and private sector, the influence of coercive mechanisms was significantly higher in the public sector, largely due to the poor enforcement of labour legislation and attempts by private sector organizations to adopt neo-liberal approaches to HRM. Originality/value The study provides an understanding of the institutional context of HRM in Nigeria by highlighting how varying degrees of pressures from the environment create internal diversity in HRM approaches in the public and private sector.
