Generational Differences in the Workforce Within Generational Systems Theory

Abstract

In the business world, four different generations work together. It is stated that these generations also have their own features. Consequently, it emerges as a significant issue that various generations can work together in the same business environment. It is known that there are tensions between generations in every period, and the previous generation criticizes the next generation. Issues need to be taken into account such as learning the characteristics of each generation, knowing what they value, understanding the way of working, and determining the appropriate management style for each of the different generations that have to work together. In this study, information is given about the theory of generational systems and the behaviors and expectations of generations, both personally and in the workplace, and the values and expectations of the business world of the Y generation, which has subsequently started to take place in the management level, are examined.
