Technical Efficiency of the Czech Republic Public Libraries

Original language description

The purpose of this article is to define and evaluate the development of the aggregated technical efficiency of the Czech Republic public libraries during 1993 – 2014. For the technical efficiency simulation the Data Envelopment Analysis Model (BCC) was chosen. For the production units´ evaluation (the unit of the Czech Republic during 1993 – 2014 and its production is given by the sum of the real homogenous units, i.e. the public libraries operating in the given area and in the given time) two input variables (the recalculated number of employees and the library collection) and two output variables (the number of registered readers and the number of loans) were analysed. Two basic models were simulated – the M1 model oriented to the inputs and the M2 model oriented to the outputs. Correlation between the input and output variables was researched by the Pearson´s coefficient. In the range of the M1 and M2 basic models the partial models were simulated. All of the basic and partial models identically showed eight efficient periods of the Czech Republic public libraries (1995, 1997, 1999-2000, 2002-2005). The public libraries were, according to the chosen variables, inefficient in the remaining 16 observed years.
