Millennials, the latest generation to enter the global workforce,
are changing the face of employment. This volume represents the
most up-to-date research on the changes and issues from an
international cast of generational researchers. Shifting
demographics around the world have created a unique historical
phenomenon in which a large cohort of employees (i.e., post-war
Baby Boomers) are nearing retirement, and a new cadre of younger
workers are being recruited to replace them. These twenty-something
year-olds, often referred to as 'Gen Y' or Millennials, represent
the workforce of the future and come with their own set of
expectations, demands, and work habits. The contributors to this
volume, drawn from countries around the world, document the
cultural, historical, and social context surrounding this
phenomenon. The international perspective makes it possible to
examine cross-cultural similarities and differences in HRM
practices. This timely book provides an understanding of the new
workforce in multiple countries and settings and a valuable
reference as scholars and employers seek to understand the values,
beliefs, and expectations of the next generation of workers. While
scholars and instructors will find this book indispensable, the
book will also have implications for domestic and multinational
employers, managers, HR practitioners, and career counselors.

Organizations and employers are currently managing an
inter-generational workforce, and the most prudent of these are
seeking to enhance the careers of new entrants. HRM, careers, and
work researchers have begun to explore career-related differences
among the four generations of workers currently in employment, but
to date there has been very little in the way of full-length
comparative studies. In Generational Career Shifts: How Veterans,
Boomers, Xers, and Millennials View Work, Eddy S. Ng, Sean T.
Lyons, and Linda Schweitzer develop a timely, wide-ranging
examination of inter-generational differences in work priorities,
career attitudes, career experiences, and career outcomes. Offering
a comprehensive overview of existing research, and drawing upon the
authors' own large scale study of students and knowledge workers,
this book documents how careers have fundamentally shifted over the
past five decades. Along the way, it offers crucial insights into
what these shifts mean for employers and their management
strategies. Generational Career Shifts is essential reading for
career researchers, generational researchers, practitioners within
executive education, as well as for career counsellors, human
resource departments, corporate libraries, and people managers.
