Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine which domain of organizational environment best influences the professional identity of librarians. It has been found in the past that organizational environment has significant impacts on different facets of its employees’ behaviour, may it be professional identity or otherwise. This issue was discussed in this study employing the descriptive-quantitative approach using the correlation technique. Universal sampling technique and regression analysis were used to gather data from 101 professional librarians employed in various organizations around Davao City. Results revealed that a significant relationship between organizational environment and professional identity exists; hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. Among the indicators of organizational environment, guidance and support emerged as the domain that best influences the professional identity of librarians.
