“…Furthermore, the previously developed studies focus on adopting a qualitative approach, using interviews and observation, for determining which IGL activities are implemented in educational institutions. Some attempts are made in using a quantitative approach (Geeraerts et al ., 2018b; Kazak and Polat, 2018; Klein and Shapira-Lishchinsky, 2017), but they fail to prioritize the IGL activities. Since each institution has limited resources and unlimited needs, the policymakers need a tool for prioritizing the IGL strategies that are going to be supported.…”

PurposeThis research aims to identify the most suitable intergenerational learning strategies for the private higher education institutions, using the analytic network process.Design/methodology/approachIn order to achieve this goal, two private higher education institutions from Curacao and Spain are analyzed. Data are collected based on a systematic literature review and Delphi studies and processed using the analytic network process.FindingsThe results show that teachers also learn at the workplace not only through the formal educational system but also through volunteering activities, mixed-aged teams, and mentoring, which are the most appropriate strategies for fostering intergenerational learning in the private higher education institutions. Besides, their selection is strongly influenced by institution's structural capital (namely, institutional policy, organizational culture, organizational memory) and by employees' psychological profile (such as interpersonal trust, knowledge self-efficiency, motivation).Originality/valueThis research helps the policymakers to prepare for the upcoming aging society by providing them with a viable tool for selecting the most suitable IGL strategy. Furthermore, it supports strategic thinking and scenario development by emphasizing how the situation could change if the importance of the individual and organizational factors varies.

“…Miesner et al (2022) confirmed that school climate (social dynamics and interactions among members of school communities) influences collaborative practices and can support or impede school-based collaboration. Kazak and Polat (2018) concluded that a positive intergenerational atmosphere within a school can prepare the ground for the sharing of knowledge and experience among its teachers. The research by Sindi c et al (2022, p. 125) aimed to "examine the perspective of preschool teachers on the factors of intergenerational learning important for their own professional development", professional cooperation being one of them.…”

PurposeThis paper draws on data from a research project that examined the professional relationships that existed between teachers of different generations within an educational setting, including both those inside and outside school.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was adopted to better understand participants' intergenerational relationships. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews conducted online. Data analysis was carried out using Atlas.ti 22 software. This focused on participants' professional relationships, generationally-inflected professional relationships, links to the school and connections with their environment.FindingsThe paper shows that commitment to the profession and work climate were among the key aspects referred to by the interviewees. The different age groups agreed that they had experienced intergenerational feedback and that there was closer contact between peers of the same generation, which led to greater levels of affinity. The shared responsibility that comes with teaching and the sense of belonging were essential links to the school. The generational groups underlined the importance of building bridges and participating in collaborative networks to form connections with their environment.Originality/valueAlthough several studies have considered various factors influencing professional relationships from an intergenerational perspective, this paper adds value to the existing literature by providing new data and analyzing the barriers and opportunities experienced by teachers of different generations (novice, veteran and retired) in their professional work within and beyond the educational setting.

“…Instructional leaders are enabled to interweave teaching and learning processes so that instructors and learners are fully engaged in the processes to gain their developments (Liu & Hallinger, 2018). Kazak and Polat (2018) claimed that the leaders themselves need to oversee the organizations by putting a more direct emphasis on staff diversity and a more indirect attention on organizational structure which governs work policies and regulations. This will eventually hinder employees' loyalty by accountabilities from leader.…”

It is necessary that educational institutions are administered by leaders with visions who can be flexible while maintaining the institutions' missions. Instructional leadership will enable the leaders to manage effectively and to persuade teamwork to be fully engaged in dynamic educational contexts. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of instructional leadership as an independent variable to instructors' behavior. This relates to employees' loyalty to their leaders and institutions through the relationship quality as a mediator variable which is considered as a direct effect from instructional leadership. The research's respondents were instructors who worked under the dual system of private vocational education institution in Thailand and the sample data was collected from 396 instructors. The result showed that almost variables has a direct impact to each other except trust in the relationship quality group. This variable has no effect on job satisfaction and institution loyalty (p < 0.05). The model explained that 60.9 percent of leader loyalty and 59.7 percent of institution loyalty were variation of instructional leadership. The finding clearly reveal the instructional leadership helps to estimate what can contribute to the relationship quality and the loyalty in educational institution. The study recommends that the board of management with instructional leadership should examine the personnel's needs to maximize institutional personnel in a more professionally manner.
