Book excerpt: Organizations are consistently, and increasingly, dealing with the changing of generations in the workplace with the introduction of Generation Y, the upcoming decline of Generation X, and the retirement of Baby Boomers. Due to the changing workforce, the purpose of this current research was to observe how debt, work values, specifically intrinsic (helping others, being able to be creative) versus extrinsic (money, status), and job satisfaction are changing among the employees as well. However, there are few to no studies that have looked at how the inclusion of debt (mortgage loans, car loans, credit card debt, school loans) is influencing said factors of work values and job satisfaction. The current research examined 123 participants on their generational status, debt status, work values, and job satisfaction. The results suggested that there were generational differences among present debt status, rating of work values (extrinsic vs. intrinsic), and subscales of job satisfaction (i.e. pay, promotion, benefits). While the current research did not find a relationship among debt and work related variables, these results are relevant and give implications for the present workforce and directions for future research on this topic. These findings suggested that generational differences did exist in the workforce and promote the importance of future research observing this topic amongst a larger variety of variables. The results of the current research aide in better understanding the changing human resource management process of recruiting, training, and rewarding employees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of time, more and more longitudinal and cross sectional data on work values and work ethics has been gathered by researchers and institutions worldwide. Based on this data, more and more studies have been published about changes in work values. This book gathers current global knowledge about cohort or generational differences in work values ethics. Furthermore, this book gives a broad picture of the global changes in the economy, the work force, and Human Resource (HR) practices needed to manage generational diversity and develop Generation Y in organisations. The book presents international perspectives, bringing studies from different countries on different continents. Since Generation Y/Me has been recognised as a generation with unique values regarding family, education, work, politics etc., and since this generation has become more meaningful in the workforce and in management, there is a special emphasis in this book on Generation Y values, attitudes, and ethics regarding working life and the workplace. This book (as well as each chapter) focuses on the applications of this knowledge to managers and Human Resource practitioners. Part One focuses on findings from seven countries (Canada, China, Israel, South Africa, India, USA and Colombia) that can give us an international perspective regarding generational differences/ Generation Y in work values and ethics. Part Two is about generational differences in work and leadership values among managers from Eastern and Western Europe. Part Three concludes with the practical applications that can be drawn from the accumulated knowledge about Generation Y work values regarding managing and developing Generation Y leadership roles.

This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headlines frequently appear that purport to highlight the differences among workers of different generations and explain how employers can manage the wants and needs of each generation. But is each new generation really that different from previous ones? Are there fundamental differences among generations that impact how they act and interact in the workplace? Or are the perceived differences among generations simply an indicator of age-related differences between older and younger workers or a reflection of all people adapting to a changing workplace? Are Generational Categories Meaningful Distinctions for Workforce Management? reviews the state and rigor of the empirical work related to generations and assesses whether generational categories are meaningful in tackling workforce management problems. This report makes recommendations for directions for future research and improvements to employment practices.

Download or read book Generational Diversity at Work written by Emma Parry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade much attention has been paid to the apparent differences in consumption preferences or workplace attitudes and behaviours across generations. Within Western economies such as the USA, UK and Australia, it is commonly assumed that that there are now four generations in the workplace, namely Veterans (born 1925-1942), Baby Boomers (1943-1960), Generation X (1961-1981) and Generation Y (1982- 2000) The concept of generational differences at work is one that has recently been adopted by practitioners as a basis on which to design human resource management and career management practices. However, there has been some concern in academic circles about the validity of the notion of generations and the evidence base that supports it. There is therefore a need for new perspectives and methodological approaches to investigating generational differences at work in order to establish the validity and value of generations as an axis of diversity. Generational Diversity at Work: New Research Perspectives will address this need by presenting and discussing research into generational diversity that adopts a range of new theoretical perspectives or methodological approaches. This book is designed as a first step in addressing the need to critically examine the theoretical and empirical basis for generational differences and to provide some new empirical data in this area.

Download or read book Examining Differences in Work Life Balance Job Satisfaction Organizational Commitment and Learning Goal Orientation in Baby Boomers and Generation Xers written by Christopher Martin Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generation Xers and Baby Boomers are the two dominant generations in the workforce today. Researchers and practitioners alike have begun to question whether these generations have fundamentally different work attitudes and if so, what effect these differences might have on organizational outcomes. Currently, much of the literature on work value differences between Gen Xers and Baby Boomers is anecdotal. Of the limited empirical research conducted on generational differences, the results are mixed. The present study aimed to extend the empirical literature in generational work attitude differences by examining if Gen Xers and Baby Boomers exhibit significant differences in ratings of job satisfaction, work life balance, learning goal orientation, and organizational commitment. An additional purpose of the study was to examine if generational cohort moderated the relationship between job satisfaction and learning goal orientation in predicting organizational commitment. One hundred and sixty-four participants completed an online survey on the aforementioned work attitude variables. Correlations, t tests, and hierarchical moderated multiple regression analyses were conducted. Contrary to the anecdotal evidence, mean differences were not found between Gen Xers and Baby Boomers on work life balance importance, work centrality, learning goal orientation, organizational commitment or extrinsic job satisfaction. The study did find that Baby Boomers were more satisfied with their work overall and with intrinsic aspects of work. Intrinsic job satisfaction and satisfaction with promotional opportunities were found to be more important in predicting organizational commitment for Gen Xers than for Baby Boomers. As the Baby Boomers begin to retire and leave a shortage of Gen Xers to take their place, organizations should be particularly cognizant of ensuring that their Gen X employees are satisfied with the intrinsic aspects of their jobs and promotional opportunities in the organization in order to help foster organizational commitment. Future research should examine in more detail which specific aspects of intrinsic satisfaction Baby Boomers and Gen Xers differ on, and how these relate to organizational commitment.

Download or read book An Investigation of Generational Differences in Job Satisfaction in a Bureaucratic Environment written by Deidre Elain Eaton and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today's workplace is comprised of multigenerational employees (Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials). Each generation has different ideas, beliefs, and values systems. Consequently, they respond and react differently to common life events. Moreover, they have differences in how they view various aspects of work. These generational differences can be a creative strength, an opportunity, or create stress and/or conflict in the workplace. In the workplace, managers need to understand the attitudinal differences and how these generational differences may result in different levels of job satisfaction within each generation. This research collected job satisfaction data from 430 federal government employees to examine nine facets of job satisfaction and overall satisfaction in a bureaucratic organization. Accordingly, the study contributed to the emerging research on generational differences in the workplace. The results of this study indicate that generational differences in job satisfaction may not be as dramatic as previously expected. Although the study hypotheses were not supported, the ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc contrast found generational differences in satisfaction with promotion and operating procedures. Millennials and Generation X employees within this research had higher satisfaction with promotions than Baby Boomers and Traditionals. Additionally, Millennials had higher satisfaction with operating procedures than Traditionals, Baby Boomers, and Generation X. These results indicate that the research on generational differences is warranted. By understanding generational differences, organizations may be able to improve their employees' job satisfaction and thereby generate teamwork, collaboration, and synergy among their employees."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much thought has been given to how business leaders and managers can obtain the most productivity from Millennials (Generation Y) and subsequent groups such as Generation Z, the true challenge is far more complex. The workforce of the near future will be a multigenerational one, featuring members from between four and six generations in one organizational setting. This situation is made even more complex and challenging with the effect of today's globalization, which has created worldwide hypercompetition in organizations that often involves members from multiple cultures who speak different languages. How to effectively handle such a diverse population is increasingly a key concern for organizations of all types and sizes. Global Applications of Multigenerational Management and Leadership in the Transcultural Era is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of applying numerous leadership styles to effectively navigate generational compromise. While highlighting topics such as consumer behavior, leadership management, and workforce diversity, this publication is ideally designed for business scholars, managers, executives, human resources professionals, recruitment agencies, students, business professionals, and international business leaders seeking current research on communication strategies and the most effective ways to handle a diverse workforce.

Download or read book Managing the New Workforce written by Eddy Ng and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millennials, the latest generation to enter the global workforce, are changing the face of employment. This volume represents the most up-to-date research on the changes and issues from an international cast of generational researchers. Shifting demographics around the world have created a unique historical phenomenon in which a large cohort of employees (i.e., post-war Baby Boomers) are nearing retirement, and a new cadre of younger workers are being recruited to replace them. These twenty-something year-olds, often referred to as ÔGen YÕ or Millennials, represent the workforce of the future and come with their own set of expectations, demands, and work habits. The contributors to this volume, drawn from countries around the world, document the cultural, historical, and social context surrounding this phenomenon. The international perspective makes it possible to examine cross-cultural similarities and differences in HRM practices. This timely book provides an understanding of the new workforce in multiple countries and settings and a valuable reference as scholars and employers seek to understand the values, beliefs, and expectations of the next generation of workers. While scholars and instructors will find this book indispensable, the book will also have implications for domestic and multinational employers, managers, HR practitioners, and career counselors.

Download or read book EXPLORATORY STUDY OF GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN FACETS AND OVERALL JOB SATISFACTION OF A DIVISION IN A MULTI STATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER written by Pierre W. Banks and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The variation in needs and expectations between generational cohorts can make it difficult for organizations to create human resource, talent development, and supervisory policies to fit all employees. Low job satisfaction may lead to several adverse outcomes such as low retention and organizational commitment, low productivity, and low morale studies. In addition, research on generational differences in job satisfaction has led to contradictory findings. A correlational research design with a cross-sectional survey was implemented utilizing a multiple regression analysis to explore which facets of job satisfaction (Work Itself, Pay, Promotion, Coworker, and Supervision) best predicted Overall Job Satisfaction for each generational cohort. A discriminant analysis was also conducted to determine if a prediction of generational cohort membership could be established based on facets of job satisfaction. Multiple regression results indicate that Coworker, Work Itself, and Supervision Facets were the strongest predictors in the model of Overall Job Satisfaction for Baby Boomers; Coworker and the Work Itself Facets were the strongest predictors of Overall Job Satisfaction for Generation X; the Work Itself and Supervision Facets were the strongest predictors of Overall Job Satisfaction for Millennials. The data failed to yield a prediction of cohort membership based on facets of job satisfaction. Positive Affect was included in all analysis and was found not to be a confounding variable of job satisfaction for the sample. The results from this study concluded 1) generational cohorts do place varying degrees of value on facets of job satisfaction; 2) generational differences across facets are subtle; 3) all cohorts place a high value on the Work Itself Facet, and 4) the Coworker and Supervision Facets are significant influencers for the majority of the cohorts. Based on the facets included in the models, there were several implications for leadership with strong connections to transformational, ethical, and servant leadership.
