Abstract

ABSTRACT The research aims to provide a systematic literature review on human resources (HR) practices used for fostering intergenerational learning. The results prove that: (i) the need to identify the most appropriate HR practices for fostering intergenerational learning captured mainly the attention of the European scholars; (ii) the phenomenon is mostly analysed in the education and nursing industries; (iii) most articles adopt a qualitative approach; and (iv) the HR practices that are frequently used are formal training and on-the-job education, mentoring, and teamwork. Thus, the following future research avenues are suggested: (i) developing cross-sectional analyses; (ii) analysing intergenerational learning from the constructivist theory approach; (iii) determining the impact of HR practices on the two components of intergenerational learning, namely: knowledge sharing and knowledge receiving; (iv) examining the factors that mediate the relationship between HR practices and intergenerational learning, and (v) determining the importance of each HR practice on intergenerational learning.
