Summary/Abstract: Human resources professionals (HRPs) must understand generational work values to lead organizations. While this study acknowledges the generations’ differences in work values throughout the academic literature, its purpose is to identify the similarities in work values between Generations X, Y, and Z employees to provide HRPs the basis for employee motivation. HRPs should be cognizant of individual differences and not focus solely on generational differences and recognize stereotyping of generational differences in the workplace. It is recommended that HRPs motivate employees based on their individual needs, monitor stereotypes in the workforce, and remain committed to employee flexibility. This study’s research purpose, approach, and results prove there are more similarities than differences.
