Abstract
Employees nowadays are more diverse than ever before, and that diversity is manifested in differences in generational cohorts. It has been observed that an organization is composed of distinct age groups, which represent employees of distinct generational cohorts. The key goal of this study is to render an observation and insight into differentiation and comparison in work values, communication style, and leadership style of distinct age group employees at workplace likely boomer, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z. The finding of the study depicted the variations among generations (Boomer, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z) as well as the variation in their styles of leadership, communication, and values of work. The current study has explored only three characteristics. In the organizations, not only is the investigation of distinct generation necessary, but the similarities among them need to be acknowledged. Another limitation is that there is a very less empirical investigation conducted on generational differences.
