Full textHave you ever had someone stereotype or prejudge you because of your age? Have any of these stereotypes held you back in your career? These experiences are not uncommon and there are numerous publications that promote stereotypes and ascribe certain characteristics to different generations. These labels and stereotypes are often found in the workplace and may impact how an individual navigates his or her career. To address these questions, this dissertation examined generational differences in the workplace using the perspectives of three generations of employees on succession planning and career mobility. The goal of this study was two-fold, a) to provide data driven research that moves beyond descriptive, broad or anecdotal research published in magazines and popular books; and b) to understand and describe the perspectives of Generation Y, Generation X and Baby Boomers on succession planning (career mobility), using a Basic Interpretive Design methodology.
This study was conducted through the lens of the lens of social identity theory and talent management principles in order to addresses generational differences and succession planning and was based on an understanding of organizations as multi-national companies with many businesses and site locations. The findings support human resource practitioners and organizational leaders plan succession and further develop employees by understanding the revelations and expectations of each generation.
The format of this dissertation is as follows: Chapter 1 outlines the structure of the study and provides key foundational background to situate this research study. Chapter 2 provides a more detailed review of the literature, including peer-reviewed research publications on generational concepts and theory, talent management and succession planning. Chapter 3 details the methodology, which includes the means and approach through which data was collected in this study. Lastly, Chapters 4 and 5 present the findings of the study in addition to applications of the research and recommendations for leaders and HR practitioners.

Full textThis quantitative study, completed in a mid-Atlantic coastal state, examined generational differences in nursing education related to perceptions of incivility. For this study, the Incivility in Nursing Education-Revised (INE-R) survey was administered to determine the behaviors nursing students and nursing faculty identified as being uncivil in nursing education and to determine participants’ generational cohorts. Participants’ generations were identified by birth year, allowing participants to be placed in a precise generational cohort without regard to those born on the cusp of a generation. Social exchange theory guided this study. This theory explains human behavior in terms of an exchange of mutually similar behaviors based on perceptions of personal, cultural, and environmental life experiences that occurred during an individual’s generation. Findings indicate factors differed among the generational cohorts, particularly between millennials and other generations. No significant difference was found between nursing faculty and nursing students’ perceptions of what was considered uncivilized behaviors. Implications for nursing educators are discussed and suggestions for future research identified. Learning the extent to which incivility is perceived differently by nursing faculty and students based on specific generational issues of each cohort could be used to conduct further research in nursing education.

Full textPurpose. The purpose of this quantitative study was to compare the generational cohorts of Baby Boomer, Generation X, and Generation Y/Millennial, as defined by Howe and Strauss (2007), in terms of learning style preferences in the United States.
Methodology. A non-experimental, retrospective, causal-comparative research design was used to determine whether the independent variable, generational cohort, was correlated with the dependent variable, learning style preference, by comparing Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y/Millennials. Participants were recruited through an online survey and invited to participate via email to electronically complete the Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (ILS), a 44-item assessment of learning style preference. Results were analyzed using non-parametric chi-square tests of independence in SPSS software.
Findings. The chi-square analyses did not result in a significant difference between the learning style preferences of the generational cohorts. The cohorts were similar on the four dimensions of learning style preferences. On a macro level, the generations were predominately represented by preferences for reflective, sensing, visual, and sequential learning styles. Generation Y’s preference for active and visual learning was higher than the other generations. On a micro level, Baby Boomers and Millennials were the most similar (identical on 12 metrics), followed by Generations X and Y (identical on seven metrics), and by Baby Boomers and Generation X (identical on three metrics).
Conclusions. The variety of learning style preferences and the similarities among the sample inform decisions about the design and delivery of training. A variety of learning style preferences are present in any generation, and organizations should be cautious about adopting stereotypes that lack empirical evidence to support assumptions about generational differences in learning style preferences.
Recommendations. Focusing on generational differences is not necessary when designing and delivering training. Organizations will benefit from applying adult learning theory and evaluating the learning style preferences of their unique training audiences. Future studies should include a larger sample size from a global population, include Generation Z, and use additional or different learning style assessments.

Full textThree generations of Americans are currently coexisting in the workforce. One of the primary challenges for educational leaders is to understand the similarities and differences in each generation while also educating a new generation of Americans – today's youth. This longitudinal study used data from the General Social Survey to determine if generational work values differ in accord with the five general categories outlined by Twenge.
Several significant differences emerged. First, Millennials rate higher in work ethic over Boomers and GenXers. Additionally, a linear decline from Boomers to Millennials was found in intrinsic values, while Millennials were found to have the highest need for extrinsic values. Finally, a linear decline from Boomers to GenXers to Millennials was evident in relation to social values in the work setting.
The primary implication from this study involves the contradictory nature of Millennials. While they have the highest work ethic, they also rate highest in leisure values and the need for extrinsic values. Further research should be conducted to isolate values pertinent to teachers and a cross-sectional study should be conducted to determine value differences of the current workforce.
