Kuşakların farklılaşan iş değerlerine ilişkin emik bir araştırma

Kuşaklar arasındaki farklılıklar yüzyıllardır ilgi çeken bir konu olmakla birlikte, işletmecilik alanında bilimsel araştırmalara konu olması henüz yenidir. İş dünyası 2000’li yıllarda çok sayıda rapor ve akademi dışından yayınla kuşak farklılıklarını tartışmaya başlamış ancak yönetim ve insan kaynakları yazınında araştırmalar özellikle son beş yıldır ivme kazanmıştır. Türk iş dünyası ve akademik yazın açısından da seyir benzer şekildedir. Kuşak olgusunun sosyoloji disiplini temelindeki tanımı, ulusal bir alt kültür olarak incelenmesi düşüncesini de beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışma emik yaklaşım benimsenerek Türkiye’de çalışma yaşamında kuşakların iş görme anlayışı ve iş değerleri arasındaki farklılıkları sorgulamak ve kuşakların bir arada yönetimine ilişkin geliştirilecek strateji önerilerine yol gösterici olmak üzere tasarlanmıştır.

However almost for 5 years especially researches in management literature have gain importance. Also this worldwide issue have the same trend in Turkish literature. As it is discussed by some academics, the sociological background of generation concept is needed to be examined as a sub cultural issue. From this point of view with emic approach, this research is designed to understand differences about generations’ work mentality and work values in Turkish Businesses and also try to give some advices about how to manage generations together.
