Živa Veingerl Čič (Author), Simona Šarotar Žižek (Author)

Abstract

The labor market is currently experiencing employees of four generations. Each generation has different behavior patterns, attitudes, expectations, habits, and motivational mechanisms. As generational gaps play an important role in the business process, organizations have to find ways to balance the needs and views of different age groups. To overcome the negative outcomes arising from generational differences and to use the strengths of each generation, the implementation of comprehensive and proactive model of intergenerational cooperation, presented in the paper, is becoming the necessity for each organization because of the benefits.

Secondary abstract:	Na trgu dela se trenutno srečujejo zaposleni štirih generacij. Vsaka generacija ima različne vedenjske vzorce, stališča, pričakovanja, navade in motivacijske mehanizme. Ker generacijske vrzeli igrajo pomembno vlogo v poslovnem procesu, morajo organizacije najti načine za uravnoteženje potreb in pogledov različnih starostnih skupin. Za premagovanje negativnih rezultatov, ki izhajajo iz generacijskih razlik in izkoriščanja moči vsake generacije, je potrebno izvajanje celovitega in proaktivnega modela medgeneracijskega sodelovanja, ki je predstavljen v članku in postaja zaradi koristi nujnost vsake organizacije.
