Abstract

Contemporary workplaces are filled with employees from different work cohorts working together.Among these work cohorts, employees from generation Y and those from generation Z form the largest workforce in India today.The following study was intrigued by an interest in a probability of diversity of work-related attitudes of these generations and the dynamics of its interplay in the workplaces.Out of numerous workrelated attitudes, work motivation and organizational commitment of employees were chosen as variables to be measured among these generations and an attempt was made to check if there are any differences and conflicts arising out of them.Primary data was collected by using questionnaires which are highly reliable, valid and standardized.As predicted, the findings demonstrated significant differences in the level of intrinsic motivation of employees from both the generations.Results also indicated a significant difference between the level of most types of organizational commitment.there was no significant difference found in the level of extrinsic motivation and continuance commitment among these generations.Gender variability among these attitudes was also studied as an additional variable.In all the findings could pave ways to generate strategies to leverage upon the generational diversity and maximising the overall productivity of organizations by using unique and suitable motivational strategies for its varied workforce.
