Searching for A Stronger Generational Understanding than Just Age: A Multi-Country Analysis of Millennials’ Personal Values and Moral Reasoning
Age group typically identifies millennials – those born between 1982 and 2004. Yet our research challenges the designation based on age group by considering this population in the context of an individual’s citizenship or culture. Based on tenets of social identity theory, we explore a citizen’s personal value orientation and cognitive moral reasoning to discover commonalities or differences across individuals from eight countries. We report wide…
Intergenerational Conflict
Intergenerational conflict occurs often because of perceptions of incompatibilities between individuals of different generational categories. These perceptions may be focused on values, behaviors, or identities. In turn, intergenerational conflict may be resolved by focusing on achievements, image, or one's ego
Generational Differences and Covid-19: Positive Interactions in Virtual Workplaces
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic which caused many businesses around the world to move to online or virtual workplaces (Center for Disease Control, 2020), intergenerational tensions may be exacerbated leading to communication breakdowns. There are many challenges in moving an intergenerational workplace online such as an overreliance on generational labels in guiding interactions, negative perceptions of technology usage of particular age groups…
A dynamic social-ecological model of generational identity in the workplace: Research
We approach generational identity in the workplace as a social identity simultaneously linked to biological and historical location. We outline a dynamic social-ecological model of generational identity in which various levels of influences shape the potential for and manifestation of generational identities in the workplace. We propose that individual generational identity in the workplace is influenced by the interaction of four levels of facto…
Differences in Understanding Generation in the Workforce
From an analysis of two age diverse samples in which we explored the ways “generation” is understood in the workforce, we make several contributions to generational research. First, we propose new conceptualizations on generations in the workforce. They are: contribution (a generation is defined based on the impact its members make on society or organizations) and generation as an ambiguous or irrelevant concept (generational categories are meani…
Understanding and Managing Intergenerational Conflict: An Examination of Influences and Strategies
Popular press and academic research articles commonly suggest that intergenerational differences in the workplace are a potential source of conflict. However, there has been little effort to examine the nature, causes, and reactions to such conflict empirically. We address this gap through a qualitative study of 2 generationally diverse samples. Our findings reveal tensions arising among generations (values-based, behavior-based, and identity-bas…

The Presentation of Self: Dramaturgical Theory and Generations in Organizations
While interest in intergenerational phenomena has been growing in organizations, academic research in the field of organizational studies has questioned the existence of generational differences. However, despite this questioning, generational stereotypes are known and enacted in the workplace. Using a dramaturgical approach as suggested by Goffman (1959), the purpose of this theory article is to advocate a simple model of generational stereotype…
