Three standard questionnaires were used to collect data: Qasemi Information Literacy (2007), Dorabaji et al (1998) and Paterson Job Performance (1970). The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and was 0.81, 0.93 and 0.97, respectively, indicating that the questionnaires have a good reliability. Descriptive indices, Pearson correlation coefficient and Sobel test were used to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses.The results showed that librarians who are more creative and high performing, have more information literacy, and can achieve higher goals. Therefore, it can be said that increasing information literacy among librarians makes them more creative and enhances their job performance and consequently improves the performance of public libraries.Based on the results,it can be said that increasing information literacy among librarians makes them more creative and enhances their job performance and consequently improves the performance of public libraries.

The data gathering tool was a questionnaire. Correlation test results show a positive and significant relationship between cultural collectivism and student's knowledge sharing. There is also a positive and significant relationship between cultural collectivism components with knowledge sharing.

the strategy of the current research is a survey that seeks to explain the relationships and the impact of the variables, the statistical population of the research includes members of the board. It is the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Tehran, whose number is estimated to be 151. Using the Sample Power software, the sample size was estimated to be 130 people. The analysis of the data obtained using the structural equation method through the software Amos software is done. The results of the current research indicated that organizational exclusion had an effect on Knowledge hiding and 46% of the variance of the Knowledge hiding variable was explained by the Organizational Ostracism variable. Instrumental thinking has had an effect on Knowledge hiding, and 18% of the variance of the Knowledge hiding variable is explained by the instrumental thinking variable, and in the relationship between instrumental thinking and Organizational Ostracism, Self-Sacrificial Leadership has a partial mediating role Knowledge hiding. According to the findings of the research, it can be concluded that the problem of Knowledge hiding among university professors is affected by two factors: Organizational Ostracism and instrumental thinking, and not paying attention to the growth of these two components can endanger the cycle of improvement and sharing of knowledge in the long term, therefore attention to the component Self-Sacrificial Leadership and helping to improve it can play an important role in instrumental thinking and Organizational Ostracism.
