| An increasing number of human resources management magazines and seminars and scholarly research are focusing on how to manage, co-work with, and overcome conflict with multiple generations in the workplace. Understanding the work values of the newest generation to enter the workforce, Generation X, may be useful to human resources management and industrial/organizational psychology practitioners to better manage various generations in today's workforce.; The present research attempted to create a measurement tool to assess employees' identification with Generation X work values. The research further related Generation X work values with age, job involvement, and organizational commitment. Results indicated that few differences exist between the work values of “Gen-Xers” and those older than Gen-Xers. Correlations with job involvement and organizational commitment are discussed. |
