This study focuses on self-leadership to enhance librarians’ job proactiveness in performing their tasks independently. Specifically, it examines how organizational characteristics and motivation influence self-leadership among public librarians and investigates the role of self-leadership in their organizational commitment. To achieve this, a literature review and in-depth interviews were conducted to develop the survey instrument, followed by a questionnaire survey targeting public librarians. This study confirms that self-leadership improves organizational performance and the quality of library services in public libraries. It also highlights the need for organizational support and policy initiatives to strengthen librarians’ self-leadership.
