In every workplace setting, leadership styles, preferences, and practices can be influenced by the viewpoint that each generation brings to the table on work. Among a selection of public secondary school teachers, this study investigates the relationship between generational cohorts and workplace values. The study examines how various generations, especially Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z, perceived and prioritized work-related values, including work environment, management, and professional growth, acknowledging that these values are often shaped by the socio-historical circumstances of their developmental periods. This research utilized a descriptive-correlational methodology to survey an intentionally selected group of teachers from several public secondary schools, which assessed the generational patterns and value orientations. Statistical analyses have been implemented to investigate the strength and significance of relationships among generational affiliation, satisfaction, as well as particular workplace values. The research provides insights into the management of a multigenerational workforce in education, highlighting the necessity for flexible leadership methods and value-oriented organizational policies. This study discussed the significant disparities in working values preferences throughout generations, such as with older cohorts emphasizing achievement while establishing loyalty, highlighting safety, stability, and autonomy. And with younger cohorts fostering autonomy while expanding personal development, boosting altruism, developing stress flexibility, and comfort in collaborative settings. This affects school management, leadership styles, and strategies for promoting intergenerational collaboration in the workplace.
