“…Team and compositional approaches to age diversity suggest that, unless actively managed, age diversity in work teams tends to be associated with negative effects on team and organizational outcomes (Wegge & Schmidt, 2009;Williams & O'Reilly, 1998) or has little benefits for performance (Bell, Villado, Lukasik, Belau, & Briggs, 2011;Horwitz & Horwitz, 2007). However, emerging research is showing that organizations can harness the advantages of age diversity if specific interventions are made to ensure the conditions that age diverse teams need in order to thrive (Wegge et al, 2012), or when the interventions foster positive intergenerational learning and knowledge sharing processes (Gerpott, Lehmann-Willenbrock, & Voelpel, 2017;Harvey, 2012). Thus, organizational strategies need to go beyond "include" (mostly focused on non-mature workers/stakeholders) and "individualize" (mostly focused on mature workers) to explicitly improve how members of diverse age groups interact, share knowledge, and learn from each other.…”
