Young workers represent the workforce of the future. We discuss research on two major influences on young people's work‐related values, attitudes, and behaviours, namely family influences and work experiences. Particular emphasis is given to the role of young people's work experiences in shaping their future work‐related attitudes, values, and behaviours (an under‐researched area in occupational/ organizational psychology). To begin outlining a research agenda based on young workers, changes in the world of work and emerging areas of importance for the future generation of workers and their organizations are also highlighted (i.e. the rise in non‐standard employment, leadership, workplace health and safety and unions).
