Discussion: View Thread

Hello, I am interested in finding any articles that have explored actual
differences in recruiting, retaining, or managing employees of different
generations. For example, does recruiting/retention/management practice
"X" work best with boomers vs. Gen X vs. Gen Y?

Working papers, conference presentations, in-press articles, or
citations for published work would be helpful.
Apologies for cross-postings.

Thank you,
Paige

Page,

I am also interested in the socialization process. But instead of looking at generational differences as you are, I am looking at cultural specific processes - whether there processes or parts of it which adjusted according to the specific target population. I have not found a whole lot. In the generational side, I have given MBA classes the task to identify any organization doing anything specific for the echo boomers, but students have not been able to report on anything other than on the marketing side of the equation. An example is Toyota's Scion Division which concentrated most of its marketing budget to reach the echo boomers in very unique ways.

I will keep you posted on anything I can find.

Thanks,

Ivan Blanco

There is a great, popular book published in australia called Generation Y
by Peter Sheehan that you might find of interest. He does quote some
current and relevant research as well.

best wishes,

Dear Paige:

Below is a link to an entry that I wrote for the Sloan Work and
Family Research Network titled “Cross-Generational Issues in
Organizations.” I examined the effect of generational differences
on areas including the psychological contract, work-life balance,
and perceptions of leadership. The article concludes with
recommended management strategies. You may find the bibliography to
be helpful.
