Because Work is Changing
The world of work has changed dramatically in the past 20 years, and this has important implications for a variety of individual, group, and organizational phenomena. Two areas that may be particularly impacted by such changes are generations at work and intergenerational knowledge sharing. Unfortunately, conceptual approaches have not kept up with these changes in work and organizations. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are as follows: 1)…
Generational differences at work? A meta‐analysis and qualitative investigation
Despite substantive criticisms of generations and mounting evidence suggesting that “generational differences” do not exist, generational characterizations remain widely popular among academics and practitioners who use them to explain employee thoughts and behaviors. The current research examined academic literature as a source that may have contributed to perpetuating generational stereotypes. In Study 1, we meta‐analyzed the generations litera…
Are generations a useful concept
The concepts of generations and generational differences have received much attention in the academic literature, in the popular press, and among practitioners, policymakers, and politicians. Despite the continued interest, research has failed to find convincing evidence for the existence of distinct generations, commonly conceptualized as broad groupings of birth cohorts (e.g., 1980-2000) that have been influenced by a set of significant events …
Designating high potentials
A distributional approach to understanding generational differences
A Review of Analytical Methods Used to Study Generational Differences
This article reviews the most common analytical methods that have been used in studying generational differences in social science research. We discuss the strengths and limitations of the three analytical methods and associated designs that have most often been used to assess such differences: group comparisons using cross-sectional data, cross-temporal meta-analysis using time-lagged panels, and cross-classified hierarchical linear modeling usi…
Generations, Age, and the Space Between
Research and practice relating to generations and generational differences continues apace and yet numerous questions and inconsistencies in the literature and uncertainties in application remain. Accordingly, for this special issue, we present a set of papers that we believe advance understanding of the generations concept, address the state of the science about it, and provide practical recommendations for organizations and their workers. Two b…
Generational Differences in Work-Related Attitudes
The Willingness-to-Pay for Work/Family Policies
Recent evidence suggests that employers and employees may benefit from work/family policies and that even non-beneficiaries may support such policies. The authors posit that these policies generate not only "use" values (values for those who rely on them), but also, based on a particular norm of social justice, "need" values (values received by all individuals, regardless of expectations of direct benefit). Combining the median voter model with t…
