当我们进入新千年并面临另一代工人进入不断变化的工作世界时，我们鼓励管理者处理工人之间似乎存在的代际差异。本文重新审视代际差异问题以及这些差异的原因。数据来自全国 350 多名响应完成调查请求的个人。对当前工人价值观的代际差异进行了分析，并将结果与 1974 年进行的类似研究进行了比较。结果表明，代际工作价值观确实存在差异。研究结果表明，在较小程度上，工作价值观也会随着工人年龄的增长而发生变化。最后，结果表明美国工人越来越渴望平衡工作和个人目标。即使在同一队列中，这种态度的变化也得到了体现。版权所有 (C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
As we enter the new millennium and face the entrance of another generation of workers into the changing world of work, managers are encouraged to deal with the generational differences that appear to exist among workers. This paper revisits the issue of generational differences and the causes of those differences. Data were obtained from more than 350 individuals across the country who responded to a request to complete a survey. Current generational differences in worker values are analysed and the results are compared to a similar study conducted in 1974. Results suggest that generational work values do differ. To a lesser degree, the results suggest that work values also change as workers grow older. Finally, the results indicate an increasing desire among American workers to balance work and personal goals. This change in attitude was reflected even within the same cohort group.
