This research points out the fundamental importance of considering and understanding generational differences in human resource management, highlighting their decisive impact on organizational performance. The study is part of a rigorous academic framework, making a significant contribution to the scientific literature, exploring a perspective that has not yet been sufficiently studied: the need for a management approach that combines adaptability across generations with the recognition of individual particularities. The methodological approach of the study was based on Webster's and Watson’s (2002) methodology, which was applied to conduct a systematic literature review using the database Scopus. In total, 97 scientific articles were thoroughly analyzed, which were evaluated using a critical and comparative perspective, resulting in a detailed and well-sustained overview of the current research in this field. Through an in-depth analysis of human resource management strategies, intergenerational differences, as well as of leadership styles and preferences of each generation, this research demonstrates that only a holistic approach -combining an understanding of generational differences with adaptation to individual needs- can maximize employee commitment and strengthen collaboration and cohesion within teams. The academic and scientific contribution of this study is twofold: on the one hand, it broadens and deepens the theoretical framework of strategic human resource management and on the other hand, it offers a substantial and applicable practical model that companies can leverage to successfully manage a workforce spanning multiple generations.
