Zusammenfassung: | Abstract We sought to understand the importance and contribution of knowledge transfer (KT) of workers in the retirement phase in a higher education institution (HEI). Such research is justified by the fact that KT in retirement is approached by different areas but with little emphasis on administrative sciences. A qualitative case study was carried out based on the theoretical framework of knowledge creation and transference, in which retired workers and managers and young workers participated. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were carried out with the participation of 32 people and non-participant observation with about 260 workers. Data were organized with the support of NVivo®11 software, triangulated, and analyzed using content analysis. It is stated that KT contributes to improve work relationships and bring people together, acquires a greater degree of autonomy and recognition, perceives opportunities for professional and personal growth, and contributes to the HEI since the institutional history is valued, processes are improved, organizational costs are reduced, and the organizational climate is optimized. It is concluded that different knowledge is important for HEIs and the people who are part of them, and the need to implement actions is highlighted so that knowledge is not lost when the worker retires.
Resumo Buscou-se, neste trabalho, compreender a importância e a contribuição da transferência do conhecimento (TC) de trabalhadores em processo de aposentadoria em uma instituição de ensino superior (IES). Tal pesquisa se justifica em razão de a TC, no contexto da aposentadoria, ser abordada por diferentes áreas, porém, ter pouca ênfase nas ciências administrativas. Realizou-se um estudo de caso qualitativo, embasado no marco teórico da criação e na TC, do qual participaram trabalhadores em processo de aposentadoria, gestores e trabalhadores jovens. Foram realizados entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos focais, com a participação de 32 pessoas, bem como observação não participante com cerca de 260 trabalhadores. Os dados foram organizados com o apoio do software NVivo®11, triangulados e analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Afirma-se que a TC traz contribuições para os trabalhadores no sentido de melhorar as relações de trabalho e aproximar as pessoas, promover maior grau de autonomia e reconhecimento, perceber oportunidades de crescimento profissional e pessoal, bem como contribuir para a IES, uma vez que o histórico institucio |
