Purpose: This article aims to illustrate the role of managerial competencies in inter- organizational knowledge transfer. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this objective, a hybrid literature review methodology in human resources management is adopted. This research combines a traditional narrative literature review with a systematic, bibliometric analysis. The traditional review justifies scientific discourse through subjectively selected publications, while the systematic review involves repeatable, objective searches of the Scopus database, analyzed using VOSviewer software. Findings: The findings highlight the critical role of managerial competencies in facilitating knowledge transfer between organizations. The evolving competencies of managerial staff within international organizations significantly influence the effectiveness of inter- organizational knowledge transfer. Research limitations/implications: Future research could expand on this study by exploring other databases and using additional bibliometric tools. Limitations include the focus on the Scopus database and potential biases in publication selection. Practical implications: This research offers insights for international enterprises on the importance of developing managerial competencies to enhance knowledge transfer. Organizations can leverage these findings to improve training programs and managerial practices, thereby fostering more effective knowledge sharing. Social implications: Enhanced managerial competencies in knowledge transfer can lead to more efficient organizational practices, potentially benefiting society by improving corporate social responsibility and influencing public and industry policies towards better knowledge management practices. Originality/value: This paper provides a novel hybrid approach to literature review, combining traditional and systematic methods, and underscores the essential role of managerial competencies in inter-organizational knowledge transfer. It is valuable for researchers, HR professionals, and international business managers.
