Abstract Based on conservation of resource theory, this study tries to find the impacts of perceived organizational factors and work meaning on older employees’offline intergenerational knowledge transfer (IGKT). SmartPLS analysis results of the data about 138 older doctors show that perceived intergenerational supportive climate (PISC) and perceived top management support (PTMS) have positive impacts on both older employees’ offline intergenerational knowledge contribution (IGKC) and offline intergenerational knowledge acquisition (IGKA). However, perceived organizational institution support (POIS) has a negative impact on older employees’ offline IGKC, but has no significant influence on older employees’ offline IGKA. Work meaning has significant negative relation to older employees’ offline IGKC, and has nonsignificant positive relation to older employees’ offline IGKA. Among three perceived organizational factors, only PISC can significantly weaken the negative relationship between work meaning and older employees’ offline IGKC, and strengthen the positive relation of work meaning to older employees’ offline IGKA.
