Generation X is different than any generation before them. They are diverse. They tend not to follow trends. They even view work differently than generations before them. To members of Generation X (Xers), work is important, but they want more from life. They will even forgo a promotion to maintain a proper work/life balance. Xers view work as an extension of the rest of their life. In addition, many are not intimidated by authority and will treat leaders similar to peers. As a result, methods for motivating Xers can be different than prior generations.
Motivating employees can be a challenge. It can be even more of a challenge if they are from a generation other than your own. This is because generations often differ from each other, specifically in their underlying values. Generational differences occur due to a variety of factors, such as historical events, parental influences, culture, etc. For example, many Xers were disappointed as children. They were disappointed by their country's leaders, whose flaws were revealed through increased media coverage. Many of their parents disappointed them, when they became divorced. In addition, many Xers completed higher level degrees and were unable to find jobs.
This thesis specifically studies members of Generation X, who they are, their history, and what they expect. The primary purpose of this discussion is to understand Xers in order to motivate them in the professional workplace. Specific and practical motivational tips for this generation are described in detail.
