Abstract
The decommissioning of nuclear power plants and staff turnover may lead to a depletion of accumulated knowledge. Despite the implementation of nuclear knowledge management, current efforts primarily focus on preserving knowledge without adequate consideration of knowledge creation and inheritance. This study examines the correlation between generativity, job competence, and social support among nuclear power plant staff in the decommissioning process. Generativity refers to the capacity to create something new, promote it, and pass it on to future generations. The research hypothesis posits that staff with plant operating experience will exhibit lower generativity scores than those without such experience. However, the results indicate no substantial variation in generativity scores, but there is a significantly higher social support score among staff with operating experience. The study highlights the significance of knowledge management, incorporating the concept of generativity, in facilitating knowledge acquisition activities across the organization.
