Accueil > Tous les articles Les salariés Seniors se sentent plus investis dans leur travail Contrary to much that has been written about the differences between generations regarding their attitudes toward work and their engagement in their jobs, these variations are actually relatively small, according to research just completed by Sirota Survey Intelligence, specialists in attitude research. “With the exception of employees age 63 and older, the differences between employees’ levels of engagement in their jobs are fairly narrow,” said Douglas Klein, President of Sirota Survey Intelligence (www.sirota.com). “Our research dispels the myths about younger employees being more disengaged from their jobs. It also refutes the contention that Generation X employees (ages 28-42) are the most cynical of age groups,” added Klein. Sirota conducted a major study of cross-generational attitudes of more than 300,000 workers in over 50 organizations that the employee attitude research firm surveyed during 2006 and 2007. The study encompassed four generational groups: • Generation Y – ages 27 and younger • Generation X – ages 28-42 • Baby Boomers – ages 43-62 • Traditionalists – ages 63 and older The research included employees’ overall satisfaction with their jobs, pride in working for their employers, whether they would recommend their organizations as a place to work, and their willingness to put forth extra effort. Their responses collectively comprised an “index of employee engagement.” Employees of the Traditionalist generation (ages 63 and older) are the most engaged in their jobs overall, with an 84% employee engagement level. The engagement levels of the other groups are within a relatively narrow range of 77-80%, according to the study. Levels of employee engagement by generation, according to the study, are: • Traditionalists – 84% employee engagement level • Baby Boomers – 77% employee engagement level • Generation X – 78% employee engagement level • Generation Y – 80% employee engagement level Traditionalists (whether newly hired or long-tenured) are even more favorable regarding their engagement levels than all other generations at any point in their measured tenure.
