Washington, D.C. : National Academies Press,c2020 9780309677325 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- The changing world of work and workers -- Origin and use of generational theories -- Review of the generational literature -- Alternative perspectives for research -- Workforce management in a new era.Headlines frequently appear that purport to highlight the differences among workers of different generations and explain how employers can manage the wants and needs of each generation. But is each new generation really that different from previous ones? Are there fundamental differences among generations that impact how they act and interact in the workplace? Or are the perceived differences among generations simply an indicator of age-related differences between older and younger workers or a reflection of all people adapting to a changing workplace? Are Generational Categories Meaningful Distinctions for Workforce Management? reviews the state and rigor of the empirical work related to generations and assesses whether generational categories are meaningful in tackling workforce management problems. This report makes recommendations for directions for future research and improvements to employment practices.Consensus study report.Labor supplyIntergenerational relationsLabor supplyLabor supplyfast(OCoLC)fst00990165Intergenerational relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00976251Labor supply.Intergenerational relations.Labor supply.Labor supply.Intergenerational relations.331.1National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.)National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Committee on the Consideration of Generational Issues in Workforce Management and Employment Practices.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education.EBLCPEBLCPYDXUKAHLCOON$TOCLCOEBLCPOCLCFXIIOCLCOOCLWAUBOOK9910972087103321Are generational categories meaningful distinctions for workforce management4471695UNINA
