Decoding Gen Y and Z: The Impact of Commitment and Job Satisfaction on Employee Attributes

Abstract

A diverse range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds are working together in today's contemporary enterprises. In the present day, the majority of India's labour force is comprised of individuals belonging to the generations Y and Z. The following study was driven by an interest in the dynamics of generational differences in attitudes towards work and how such perspectives interact with one another in the workplace. We came up with the idea of assessing workers' work drive and organisational commitment as a method of gauging generational gaps and prospective conflicts. This was done after considering a large list of probable attitudes connected to the workplace. For the purpose of collecting primary data, we made use of questionnaires that were reliable, valid, and standardised. According to the findings, the levels of intrinsic motivation that were present in the two generations were considerably different from one another, which was exactly what was anticipated. In addition, the findings demonstrated that there was a significant gap in the levels of the majority of the pledges made by the company. When examining the levels of extrinsic motivation and continued commitment across different generations, it was found that there were no significant variations between them. Additionally, the variability of these feelings in relation to gender was investigated as an extra component that was also investigated. When taken as a whole, the findings may provide light on how to make the most of generational diversity in the workplace by creating and executing successful motivating strategies for a broad variety of people within the workforce.
