This research focuses on the important issues of age discrimination and intergenerational\nknowledge transfer. Through online questionnaire method,\nwhere 291 effective responses were acquired, this research found that perceived\nage discrimination by senior employees was negatively related to their\nintention to transfer their knowledge to younger employees. This negatively\neffect was fully mediated by organizational identification, where perceived\nage discrimination was negatively related to organizational identification\nwhile organizational identification was positively related to intergenerational\nknowledge transfer intention.
