Expanding the Younger Worker Employment Relationship: Insights From Values‐Based Organizations
研究以工作价值观为核心,探讨价值观型组织中年轻员工对成功和效率的理解,发现亲社会工作、直接沟通、管理者作为导师和工作生活平衡可能拓展了雇佣关系。
Abstract This article aims to expand understanding of managing younger workers by making work values central to their employment relationship. Attention is focused on values‐based organizations where intrinsic values of societal contribution, work‐life balance, and inclusive management practices may take on added significance for younger workers. Asking younger workers to explain what “success” or “efficiency” means to them in their work provides a window into the values‐based reasoning underpinning younger workers' work‐related attitudes and behavior. Person‐organization values fit findings suggest areas where the younger worker employment relationship has possibly expanded (prosocial work, direct communication, managers as mentors, work‐life balance). Implications for managing younger workers in values‐based contexts are discussed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
