Recruitment and workforce retention in a generational approach

Abstract

Abstract

The labor market is constantly changing; the years employees spend at work is increasing, and more and more generations are represented at the workplace at the same time, and yet, because of our declining population, the number of new entrants is decreasing, the proportion of older age groups is increasing, however, due to globalization and digital changes, the labor demand is primarily aimed at the younger generations, mainly affecting newly emerging professions, thus increasing competition between employers.

In order for the participants in this competitive situation to be able to react appropriately to the changes, it is important to be aware of how different generations can be motivated.

Regarding this topic, on the occasion of my research in 2023, I examined the different job selection aspects of the generations present on the labor market and the factors influencing their job satisfaction, since by taking into account the expectations set by each generation, the management of human resources in organizations can become easier and more efficient.
