| Abstract: | With the aging workforce, intergenerational learning in organizations plays a significant role in bridging gaps between older and younger generations in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. In addition, informal learning is a widespread, effective learning practice in the workplace. Despite the prevalence and importance of informal learning across generations in work settings, only a few studies to date have focused on this topic. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine which aspects of informal intergenerational learning in the workplace have been studied. Using a systematic literature review and thematic analysis, this study analyzed 34 peer-reviewed articles that met the inclusion criteria. The findings highlight the practices, benefits, and conditions of informal intergenerational learning in the workplace. [For the full proceedings, see ED680798.] |
