| Abstract: | Today’s workplace is composed of different generational cohorts. This fact will impact the working
environment of any organization depending on the concentration of members from different age groups
in each organization. Every time employees leave their organization they will be replaced by another
person of different age groups. This research investigates whether or not there is a statistically
significant difference of interactive style, communication style, feedback and reward, motivational
messages, and work ethics and value practices within employees of different age groups. There is
abundant literature on the research and findings of these themes in various countries. This study aimed at
examining the issues in the context of Addis Ababa. An answer of 818 respondents from five different
organizations was collected and analyzed for this study after a questionnaire was distributed to each
organization in person. The findings for this study indicates that there is a difference in perception of
interactive style, communication style, feedback and reward, motivational messages, and work ethics
and value among generational cohorts |
