Abstract:

Generational differences receive extensive coverage on television, in the media, and on the internet, but to what extent do these differences exist in the workplace? This presentation will provide an overview of a research study conducted by the presenters using two large sample survey programs (the 2004-2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey results and the National Longitudinal Study of Youth) to examine generational differences in workplace attitudes such as job satisfaction and employee engagement.
