Abstract
This study based on the 8-step strategy model for change management proposed by J. P. Kotter, tried to check the perception and experience about change management of the librarians at National Library of Korea. Also this study aimed to figure out the understanding of each 8-step strategy model. To this end, the concept and process of change management were presented through literature analysis, and survey was conducted targeting 58 librarians of the National Library of Korea. This study drews five results. First, the majority of librarians at National Library of Korea do not know about change management, and they do not have experience in using change management techniques. Second, the period required for the 8-step change management process is 5 years. Third, during the change management stage, librarians' awareness of the importance of stages 4 and 3 was high. Fourth, there is no difference in the librarians' perceptions of change management by gender, education, major, and tasks. Fifth, there is a significant difference in the age and service years of the librarian in the 3rd, 4th, and 7th stages of change management. Also there is a significant difference in the position of the librarian at the 1st and 3rd stage of change management, and between librarians' department and 1st stage of change management. The findings and results of this study can not only raise awareness of change management but also suggest organizational responses to change at individual or organizational level.
