Abstract

This study explores generational differences in workplace and highlighting notable contrasts between individual and organizational values across age groups. It investigates how well these values are communicated and aligned among employees from various generations, providing insights into each group’s unique expectations and priorities. Organizations face the challenge of balancing strategic objectives with the need to address generational value gaps, which influence team dynamics and organizational culture. The findings reveal substantial generational differences in how employees perceive respect and acknowledgment of personal values within the organization. For instance, younger employees may prioritize flexibility and innovation, while older generations might value loyalty and stability. The study found little evidence to support the idea that aligning organizational values, fostering seamless intergenerational communication, or achieving value congruence directly increases job satisfaction. This suggests that a one-size-fits-all approach may not effectively enhance satisfaction across different age groups. Instead, the research highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing generational value differences to strengthen communication, teamwork, and cohesion within the organization. By understanding and bridging these gaps, organizations can foster a unified, collaborative, and inclusive workplace that respects the diversity of generational perspectives and enhances overall workplace harmony.
