Abstract

Purpose: The aim of paper is to determine the dimensions of cybernetics in the central library of Tehran's public universities.
Methodology: This is a descriptive - analytical survey. The research instrument was researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was 0.83 based on Cronbach's alpha. The statistical population of research included librarians of the central library of state universities with a degree in librarianship and information science. The total population of was 171 people. Using the Cochran formula, the sample was 118, the same questionnaire was collected. Data analysis was done at two levels of descriptive statistics (Center-centered indexes) and inferential statistics.
Findings: The results showed that cybernetic management components with a standardized coefficient of 0.82 are in medium to high and good condition and the standardized coefficient each of the components of cybernetic management is: monitoring and controlling 0.42, decision making 0.50, rigid and loose links 0.46, leadership 0.65, hierarchy 0.54, interactions 0.60, management balance 0.71% Which demonstrates the reliability of the cybernetic management components in the central library organization of the public universities of Tehran.The results showed that the balance of management 0.71%, control 0.40% showed the least correlation between the components and the main hypothesis of the research has been confirmed and approved by 0.82%, which has shown a positive and significant positive effect between the research variables.
Conclousion: So, if librarians develop a model in the conceptual framework of cybernetics, librarians will be more prepared to develop the application of cybernetic model in their organizational environment.
