Abstract
Population aging is one of the main reasons for the age diversity of workplace employees.The problems caused by age diversity hinder employee interaction in the workplace,reduce the willingness of employees to transfer knowledge,and have a negative influence on maintaining and improving organizational competitiveness.Age-inclusive human resource practices are committed to providing employees with management practices that respect,trust,and support,which can effectively stimulate the potential advantages of age diversity.This paper explores the influence and mechanism of age-inclusive human resource practices on employee knowledge transfer willingness based on the Social Exchange Theory and Socioemotional Selectivity Theory.Analysis of survey data from employees in some knowledge intensive industries in China shows that age-inclusive human resource practices have a positive promoting effect on employee knowledge transfer willingness;under the influence of age-inclusive human resource practices,older employees have a higher willingness to transfer knowledge than younger employees;organizational embeddedness plays a partial mediating role between age-inclusive human resource practices and employees'knowledge transfer willingness.This paper expands the research on the influence mechanism of employee knowledge transfer willingness,and provides management suggestions for managers to overcome the drawbacks of age diversity and leverage the advantages of employee age diversity.关键词
