Rose Mbithe Mutteti, Dr. Kennedy Nyariki

Abstract


Multigenerational teamwork has become the current norm in many organizations. Baby boomers are in close to retire and millineals will soon be taking over the workforce. As a result it is imperative for organizational managers to learn more about multigenerational job satisfaction and organizational commitment levels. The study surveyed 148 individuals, with a result indicating males across the generational teams in the workplace had higher job satisfaction levels compared to their female counterparts. Also to note, females had higher organizational commitment levels compared to their male counterparts. Furthermore, millenials with graduate degree were likely to stay at their organizations compared to their counterparts without a degree. Recommendations and implications were discussed for top managers leading, hiring and managing the millennials in the workforce.

Keywords; Understanding the millennials, Multigenerational Teamwork, Employee Performance
