Organizations seek to create and maintain this knowledge on one hand by employing a young generation that is mostly carrying new visions and modern technical knowledge. On the other hand, keeping the older generation that has spent a long time working and obtained a big amount of knowledge and skills. Knowledge management has become a major focus when searching for the best ways to ensure the transfer of knowledge between its employees of different generations. The present research aims to identify various informal and formal mechanisms that help to transfer knowledge between generations in organization. Relying on numerous interviews and data collected form questionnaires distributed to 22 economic organizations in Setif (Algeria).
