Fostering intergenerational learning in the hotel industry: A multiple criteria decision-making model

[EN] The current research aims to identify the most suitable intergenerational learning activities for the Romanian hotel industry. A multiple criteria decision-making model is developed in order to determine the most appropriate intergenerational learning activities and the factors that strongly influence human resource managers' decisions. Data are collected from 35 human resource managers who have extensive work experience in the hotel industry and in managing intergenerational learning activities, and processed using the analytic network process. The results prove that the most appropriate IGL activities for the Romanian hotel industry are mentoring, on-the-job education, and storytelling. Furthermore, the most influential factors are collaboration, commitment, job satisfaction, reward management, and organizational culture. These results have both theoretical and practical implications. On the one hand, they extend the literature regarding intergenerational learning in the hotel industry and on the other hand, they bring forward how the managers could foster intergenerational knowledge sharing and avoid corporate amnesia.Leon, R.
