- Human Resources
- Organizational Psychology
Background:
- The aging nursing workforce necessitates strategies to leverage the expertise of older nurses.
- Technology-intensive healthcare environments require continuous adaptation and knowledge sharing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the interplay between temporal social comparison, motivation, and knowledge sharing among nurses.
- To examine the moderating role of age-inclusive human resource (HR) practices.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study with 328 nurses in central China.
- Data collected via questionnaires on demographics, social comparison, motivation, HR practices, and knowledge sharing.
- Statistical analysis to determine relationships and moderating effects.
Main Results:
- Negative correlations found between age-inclusive HR practices and unfavorable social comparisons, motivation, and intergenerational knowledge sharing.
- Positive correlations observed between unfavorable social comparisons, motivation, and knowledge sharing.
- Development motivation positively correlated with intergenerational digital knowledge sharing.
Conclusions:
- Unfavorable temporal social comparisons can stimulate development motivation in younger nurses, leading to increased knowledge sharing with older nurses.
- Age-inclusive HR practices positively influence the relationship between social comparison and motivation.
- Strategies promoting intergenerational knowledge transfer are vital for sustainable healthcare development.
