Exploring employee perception of the work environment along generational lines

The research reported in this article investigated the influence of generational similarities and differences on employee perception of the work environment and associated environmental variables. The values, beliefs, and historical and social experiences that generation-defined employees bring to the workplace likely affect their interaction with work, thus influencing organizational and individual performance. By including a variable to gather generational cohort-specific data, design of interventions may become easier in a multigenerational workplace.
