The purpose of the current research was to investigate the impact of the intergenerational culture of the organization on innovation with the mediating role of knowledge sharing among employees of Shiraz University. The research method is descriptive correlation type. The statistical population of the research included all the employees of Shiraz University in the number of 700 people, of which 248 people were selected using simple random sampling method. The tools of this research included the intergenerational culture questionnaire of King and Brandt (2017), knowledge sharing by van den Hoof and de Ryder (2004), and Holman et al.'s (2012) innovative behavior. The content validity of the questionnaires was approved by the experts and the reliability of the questionnaires was estimated by Cronbach's alpha method as 0.91, 0.81 and 0.84 respectively. Data analysis was done at two descriptive and inferential levels including Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model. The results of the research showed that the existence of an intergenerational constructive culture has a positive and significant effect on the growth of knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, knowledge sharing behavior also has a positive and significant effect on the growth of employees' innovation. Also, intergenerational culture in university has a positive but insignificant effect on employee innovation. Therefore, the intergenerational culture in the university can influence the innovation of the employees due to the knowledge sharing behavior.

the strategy of the current research is a survey that seeks to explain the relationships and the impact of the variables, the statistical population of the research includes members of the board. It is the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Tehran, whose number is estimated to be 151. Using the Sample Power software, the sample size was estimated to be 130 people. The analysis of the data obtained using the structural equation method through the software Amos software is done. The results of the current research indicated that organizational exclusion had an effect on Knowledge hiding and 46% of the variance of the Knowledge hiding variable was explained by the Organizational Ostracism variable. Instrumental thinking has had an effect on Knowledge hiding, and 18% of the variance of the Knowledge hiding variable is explained by the instrumental thinking variable, and in the relationship between instrumental thinking and Organizational Ostracism, Self-Sacrificial Leadership has a partial mediating role Knowledge hiding. According to the findings of the research, it can be concluded that the problem of Knowledge hiding among university professors is affected by two factors: Organizational Ostracism and instrumental thinking, and not paying attention to the growth of these two components can endanger the cycle of improvement and sharing of knowledge in the long term, therefore attention to the component Self-Sacrificial Leadership and helping to improve it can play an important role in instrumental thinking and Organizational Ostracism.

Reflective thinking is the process of using the mind to search for meaning, to understand phenomena, to make decisions, and to solve problems. One of the most important ways to optimize Information-seeking behavior is to use higher-order thinking, especially reflective thinking. The study aimed to predict information-seeking behavior of medical sciences students based on their reflective thinking in English for specific purposes (ESP) courses. The present study is an applied research that adopted a survey method. The participants were 377 students of medical sciences of Kermanshah Medical University and Islamic Azad University Kermanshah branch. Two questionnaires namely, one researcher-made to assess information-seeking behavior and one to measure reflective thinking perceptions of ESP students were employed. The results revealed that the overall mean of information seeking behavior was lower than the expected value (3) indicating that the ESP students were not at an acceptable level of information-seeking behavior. In addition, the mean of reflective thinking was also lower than the expected value (3), showing that the participants’ level of reflection was not satisfactory. In addition, the result of regression analysis results showed that there is a significant relationship between the two variables of reflective thinking and information-seeking behavior. Based on the findings, paying attention to medical sciences students’ reflective thinking is an important issue. When learning ESP comes into play such an importance will be doubled. On the other hand, students would get benefit from information-seeking behavior if they use high levels of reflective thinking.
