| The Effect of Information Literacy on Employees Innovation in Egyptian Official Tourism Organizations. This study aims to assess the effect of information literacy on employees’ innovation in the official tourism organizations in Egypt, and to examine if being information literate facilitates and supports the innovation attempts, and to examine if information literate employees are more innovative than other employees in the Egyptian Official Tourism Organizations. Data were obtained from 304 employees working in the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board as official organizations that are in charge of the tourism industry in Egypt. Results indicated that information literacy positively affects the employees’ innovation. This study provides several contributions to the information literacy by complementing previous studies and introducing new outcomes. The practical implications of this study also benefit tourism and official tourism organizations in Egypt in assessing their employees' innovation level and information literacy skill level. | ||
