Their thoughts are immature, they are miserably expressed, and they do not know how to spell.” Guess Who? “The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority. They show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers.” 1 Generations 2.0: Rebooting Generations in the Workplace Overview The Next Generations 1.0 Generations 2.0 Applications Workforce • Generations • Work Ethic and • Labor Market • Workplace Construct Commitment • Baby Boomers, • Work practices • Key Concepts • Communication Xers & & Technology Millennials Gen 1.0: What Do You Know?

  • The Post-80S Generation in Beijing: Collective Memory and Generational Identity

    The Post-80S Generation in Beijing: Collective Memory and Generational Identity

    SANDRA VALéRIE CONSTANTIN. The post-80s generation in Beijing 5 DOI: 10.2478/ijas-2013-0001 Sandra Valérie ConStantin UniVerSitY oF GeneVa The post-80s generation in Beijing: collective memory and generational identity Abstract This article questions the relevance of the notion of generation to describe the cohort who lives in Beijing and who was born in the 1980s and early 1990s, after the implementation of the reforms and opening-up policy in China. The analysis relies on 627 questionnaires collected in Beijing in 2010. The sample was stratified by age and sex, and, based on quotas; it was split into five age groups (18-26 year-olds, 33-41 year-olds, 48-56 year-olds, 63-71 year-olds and 78-86 year-olds). The respondents were questioned on their perception of turning points and socio-historical changes that occurred during their lifetime. After having analysed the data in a comparative perspective, we came to conclusion that the word generation is suitable to describe the young people from Beijing born in the 1980s and early 1990s not only because they do share autobiographical and collective historical memories, but also because these memories have by and large taken place between their adolescence and entry into adulthood (supporting the hypothesis of the existence of a reminiscence bump). Keywords: China, collective memory, generation, identity, life course, youth Theoretical framework Individual life course and History are strongly imbedded. Since the middle of the last century, sociologists have been seeking to understand the mechanics of this embedded-ness on micro-, meso-, and macro-socioeconomic levels.

    THE PROBLEM of GENERATIONS As to Be Capable of Choosing Rationally the Form of Government Most Suitable for Himself

    HOW THE PROBLEM STANDS AT THE MOMENT 277 forms of historical being. But if the ultimate human relationships are changed, the existence of man as we have come to understand it must cease altogether-culture, creativeness, tradition must all disappear, or must at least appear in a totally different light. Hume actually experimented with the idea of a modification of such ultimate data. Suppose, he said, the type of succession of human generations to be completely altered to resemble that of CHAPTER VII a butterfly or caterpillar, so that the older generation disappears at one stroke and the new one is born all at once. Further, suppose man to be of such a high degree of mental development THE PROBLEM OF GENERATIONS as to be capable of choosing rationally the form of government most suitable for himself.

  • GENERATION INFORMATION Adapted From: the Center for Generational Studies

    GENERATION INFORMATION Adapted From: the Center for Generational Studies

    GENERATION INFORMATION Adapted from: The Center for Generational Studies www.gentrends.com Baby Boomers (Born 1946-1964) Baby Boomers entered a thriving economy after WWII. The US had established itself as the preeminent power in the world. Factories were pumping out new cars and appliances. Houses were being built at a record pace. The proliferation of TVs in the 1950s forever changed the way that those growing up viewed the world. Boomers grew up feeling more secure than their parents. They began to question policies, rules and practices that had been in place for years. From this emerged civil rights protests, anti-war protests and a host of other rumbling that unsettled prior generations. Because of their size, this generation has received lots of attention. Companies focused their products. Politicians focused their messages. Rock and roll music took over the air waves. As a result, Boomers have grown up thinking the world is their oyster. As boomers entered the work place, they forever changed the way business was done. Many have taken advantage of college opportunities which raised the bar for many positions. Boomers focused on efficiency, teamwork, quality, and service. These efforts have produced a thriving “self-help” industry which feeds Boomers’ optimism and quest for eternal youth. The size of this generation continues to drive the economy and they place increasing emphasis on convenience. Financial security will remain a central issue for many, forcing thousands to work well past the age at which their parents retired. Their quest to remain eternally young will alter the face of lifestyles, the work force, consumer products, entertainment and public policy.

  • Generation X: Workplace Issues with Today’S Emerging Workforce

    Generation X: Workplace Issues with Today’S Emerging Workforce

    Generation X: Workplace Issues with Today’s Emerging Workforce Terry A. Sanders Abstract Generation X, those persons born between 1961 and 1981, are the emerging workforce of the 1990's and beyond. This generation is the first to be born into a world where both parents are working to make ends meet, Corporate America is downsizing to work "smarter", and the world is a tumultuous place to exist. The intricacies of this generation’s upbringing have contributed to the dichotomies that make the generation unique. They exhibit an air of independence while seeking constant input as to their work product; they covet the team approach to problem solving while relishing their time away to escape and ‘do nothing’ and they are easily bored and want to change tasks while wanting to be a part of the future of their workplace. The situation remains that this is the generation that is poised to take America into the 21st. Century. Our role is to blend our workplace ideology with the Generation X philosophy of life, a task that is as interesting as any journey that America’s workplace has endeavored to go. Introduction The management and leadership of a workplace is a formidable task. Personnel, with their specific needs and expectations are neatly balanced with the needs and expectations of an organization that provides a service or expects a profit. What happens when the emerging workforce does not ‘fit’ into the existing paradigms of a corporation or governmental entity? Can you find another workforce; can the emerging workforce be ‘changed’ by placing them along side the existing workforce with the hope they will pattern their concepts to the existing ones? Generation X, the emerging workforce of the 90's is pushing the envelope of workplace structure as they exercise their concepts of how things are done.

    How Do Millennials, Xennials and Gen X Manage to Work from Home?

    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Sensitive Men and Hardy Women: How Do Millennials, Xennials and Gen X Manage to Work from Home? Agota Giedre˙ Raišiene˙ 1,*, Violeta Rapuano 1 and Kristina Varkuleviˇciut¯ e˙ 1,2 1 Institute of Leadership and Strategic Management, Faculty of Public Governance, Mykolas Romeris University, LT-08303 Vilnius, Lithuania; [email protected] (V.R.); [email protected] (K.V.) 2 Telia Company, LT-08105 Vilnius, Lithuania * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite the huge number of studies on telework in 2020, the influence of socio-demographic characteristics of workers on their attitudes towards telework continues to raise questions. Re- searchers agree on some aspects, such as younger individuals being better at absorbing new tech- nologies. However, given that not only those who wanted to but also those who were obliged to switched to teleworking, it appears that younger people may not be as effective at working remotely as previously thought. The relevance of our study is based on the contradictory findings of research conducted during the pandemic. With this article, we contribute to the accumulation of knowledge about the change that takes place in telework. The paper aims to examine the relationship between socio-demographic indicators and the evaluation of telework. Our study confirms that the gender and age of employees are important factors in an employee’s attitude to telecommuting. Mostly, the attitudes vary in terms of gender. At least in the case of Lithuania where the research was conducted, Millennial men, unlike other generations and significantly more than Millennial women, see personal career development problems working remotely.
  • Comparison of Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers Attitudes Toward Preventive Health Information: a Social Media Emphasis

    Comparison of Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers Attitudes Toward Preventive Health Information: a Social Media Emphasis

    Comparison of Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers Attitudes Toward Preventive Health Information: A Social Media Emphasis Joe Cangelosi, [email protected] David Kim, [email protected] * Ken Griffin, [email protected] Ed Ranelli, [email protected] Introduction and basic definitions In the US much attention is focused on cohort value systems where the generational cohorts the consumer was born into are measured and compared. The idea is that persons of the same generation have similar experiences that are significant enough to shape their attitudes and values. These tendencies are somewhat consistent and last throughout the consumer’s life. The interest in cohort value systems arises because of the relatively stable characteristics of cohorts that can be used to predict consumer behavior (Berkowitz 2017). This study compares the generational cohorts of Baby Boomers, Generation-X, and Millennials concerning their attitudes toward (1) the use of preventive health care information (PHCI), (2) the significance of social media, and (3) social networking methods in accessing preventive health information. Preventive Health Care (PHC) is care resulting from the awareness and efforts a person undertakes to enhance and preserve physical, mental, and emotional health for today and the future (Cangelosi & Markham, 1994). At the broadest level, PHC includes over-the-counter prescriptions, programs to curb smoking or overeating, and advanced genetic testing to identify a predisposition to certain cancers and other health issues. It also includes innovative products such as wrist watches to track biometric data. The potential impact and significance of PHCI is evidenced by the staggering health care costs estimated at $3.65 trillion in 2018.
