Abstract: This study examines the dynamics of intergenerational knowledge transfer among young hospital staff. Through a sample of 361 participants, the research investigates the impact of learner motivation, organizational atmosphere, and absorption capacity on knowledge sharing and innovation. Findings reveal a significant positive relationship between learner motivation and both online and offline knowledge transfer, emphasizing the pivotal role of intrinsic drive-in facilitating knowledge exchange. Moreover, the study identifies organizational atmosphere as a moderator, highlighting its influence on the effectiveness of knowledge transfer processes. Additionally, absorption capacity emerges as a critical factor in enhancing the efficacy of knowledge dissemination within healthcare settings. These results underscore the importance of fostering a supportive organizational culture and developing individuals' intrinsic motivation to promote knowledge sharing and innovation among hospital staff.
