Abstract

The diversity among generations, a subject at issue as old as the history of hu- manity, has come out in the agenda of business community along with the 2000s. The values, attitudes and behaviors of generations differ as a result of the soci- ological events they had lived and the responsibilities they had incurred over the period they had grown. Also in the work life, it has been seen that the job expec- tations, perception of leadership and motivations of members of various genera- tions are different from each other. The primary reason of these dissimilarities is the differences, standing in the centre, about the work values and work attitudes. As these differences can be a critical source of conflict, they can also be trans- formed into synergy when managed properly. Generations form by the impact of culture. Therefore, instead of generalizing under the influence of western literatu- re, before all else revelation of the basic differences on values should be rende- red through carrying out researches on local samples. This study had been de- signed as a step of scientific research series being performed throughout Turkey and aimed at defining the generations’ diversifying characteristics. 2395 questi- onnaires, filled out for determination of work values and attitudes, had been eva- luated; the differences and the strategies to manage these differences had been discussed based on the research findings.

Özet

İnsanlık tarihi kadar eski bir tartışma konusu olan kuşaklararasındaki farklılıklar, 2000’li yıllarla birlikte iş dünyasının gündeminde de öne çıkmıştır. Yetiştikleri dö- nemde yaşadıkları önemli sosyolojik olayların ve üstlendikleri ortak sorumluluk- ların etkisi ile kuşakların değer, tutum ve davranışları birbirlerinden farklılaşmak- tadır. İş yaşamında da farklı kuşak üyelerinin işten beklentilerinin, liderlik algıları- nın ve motivasyonlarının birbirinden farklı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu farklılıkların temel nedeni merkezde yer alan işe ilişkin değer ve tutumlarındaki farklılıklardır. Bu farklılıklar önemli bir çatışma kaynağı olabileceği gibi, doğru yönetildiklerinde sinerjiye de dönüşebilirler. Kuşaklar, kültürün etkisi ile şekillenmektedir. Bu ne- denle batılı yazının etkisinde genellemeler yapmak yerine yerel örneklerde araş- tırmalar yapılarak, öncelikle temel değer farklılıkların ortaya çıkarılması sağlan- malıdır. Bu araştırma, Türkiye genelinde yürütülen ve kuşakların farklılaşan özel- liklerini tanımlamayı amaçlayan bilimsel bir araştırma dizisinin basamaklarından biri olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmada, işe ilişkin değer ve tutumları tespite yönelik yanıtlandırılan 2395 soru formu değerlendirmeye alınmış, bulgulardan yola çıka- rak farklılıklar ve bu farklılıkları yönetmeye yönelik stratejiler tartışılmıştır.
