| Аннотация | The paper discusses job satisfaction in the context of different generations of workers and the
entry of new representatives in the labor market. The study is both theoretical and applied; it uses materials
of quantitative and qualitative research on the issues under consideration. The main source of empirical
data is a sociological surveys conducted in 2015 and 2017 according to the method of random nonrepetitive
sampling among employees of individual enterprises of different forms of ownership operating
in Podlaskie North-Eastern region of Poland, and analysis of the data. The goals of our work are to identify
the most important organizational factors that influence job satisfaction and to identify differences between
the employees from the older generation (X) and the younger generation (Y) at regional enterprises of
different ownership forms as objects of functional management. According to four indicators reflecting
professional job satisfaction (working conditions, sense of self-worth, possibility of development, relations
with other employees), the findings of our study revealed similarities and differences between them in the
older and younger generations. Similarity consists in the fact that material results of activity are a priority
for both generations of workers. Difference consists in the predominance of pragmatism in the younger
generation and conservatism in the older generation. The study is of theoretical and practical importance
in the field of professional business management in the region. It indicates what factors are important
for the younger generation of workers in the context of achieving job satisfaction compared to the older
generation. Therefore, the management of any enterprise should use a variety of management tools to
improve the efficiency of its activities, for example, to differentiate the motives that will satisfy different
needs and incentives in the work of employees of different age groups. |
