Generational Gap in the Workplace: Four Generations Compared
Contemporary working age Americans are categorized into four distinct generations that, allegedly, have been made into what they are and their personalities formed due to the socio-political and economic as well as historical occurrences of their age. These four generations are variously known as: Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. (Kupperschmidt, 2000).
There are at least two views regarding generational differences in the workplace. The first suggests that whilst individuals are distinct, nonetheless, shared generational values, events, beliefs, behaviors, and occurrences indelibly affected members of a particular generation and impact them from effective intergenerational communication (Zemke, et al. 2000). The other is that although, certain generational events do occur that influence people's behavior and beliefs, ultimately employees are constant and generic in what they seek from jobs and trying to categorize them and predict their performance according to generation category is misguided (Jotgensen, 2003; Yang & Guy, 2006). This essay dwells on and discusses the former suggestion.
