Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the current research is to know the relationship between the vocabulary of radio archivists and their information-giving abilities.

Method: This research is applied in terms of its purpose, and in terms of the type of sequential mixed research (qualitative-quantitative) and in terms of the mixed research method (mixed method). In order to achieve the objectives of the research, interviews with experts were continued until the theoretical adequacy, in the Delphi study section, three stages of interviews were conducted with 10 experts in the field of archives, which resulted in the identification of the main components for the production of an 85-question questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among the statistical population, which was 120 employees of radio and television archives based in Tehran. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect information. Quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to analyze the collected data. The analysis of qualitative data from the interviews was done with content analysis and quantitative data analysis with descriptive statistics (tables and graphs) and inferential statistics. In order to test the hypotheses, the Kolmograph Smirnov test was used, for the normality of the data and data analysis, the t test (correlation) and Lisrel software were used.

findings:

he number of 15 components to measure vocabulary was determined, and each of these main components was converted into a number of quantitative questions in the questionnaire. 85 questions were asked from the statistical population (120 archivists). The average sense of need for information among the respondents is equal to 4.04 and its minimum and maximum is 2.80 and 5, so the average sense of need for information is in the medium to high level, which means that the respondents have up-to-date and useful information in the field of professional activity. have declared more than the average, according to this finding, it is necessary to hold in-service training courses to raise the level of information and knowledge of archivists. The results obtained from the correlation coefficient test indicate that among the 120 respondents of the study, the correlation coefficient with a significance level of α = 0.000 was calculated as R = 0.801. Since this significance level is higher than the significance level In our case, α=0.05 is smaller, as a result, our null hypothesis is rejected and our main hypothesis is confirmed, so we conclude that there is a positive and significant relationship between the intervening variable and the optimal use of audio archivists' vocabulary. And there is radio in the sense that with the increase of this variable, the amount of optimal use of the vocabulary of radio and television archivists also increases.



Conclusion:

There is a positive and significant relationship between the intervening variable and the optimal use of the vocabulary of radio and television archivists, meaning that with the increase of this variable, the amount of optimal use of the vocabulary of radio and television archivists also increases. It is significant to provide optimal information in the shortest time, and radio and television archivists have the ability to provide information according to the information needs of the clients, and training in the use of information retrieval tools and using the professional experiences of archivists improves the quality of information delivery. .
