WORKPLACE HAPPINESS AMONG DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF WORKFORCE IN THAI WORKPLACES

Abstract

The purpose of this thematic paper is to identify differences in job motivation and needs across Thai workforce generations. Examine the common factors influencing workplace happiness, such as job motivation and job satisfaction, across different generations of Thai workers. The study took a qualitative approach, interviewing twenty employees from Generations Y and Z one-on-one, asking open-ended questions and allowing them to share as much of their experience as possible. Respondents are given the opportunity to express themselves freely by using open-ended questions. Furthermore, using open-ended questions aids in understanding the respondent's emotions, feelings, and gestures in order to identify their need and potentially provide potential solutions to the problems. Ultimately, this paper discussed key factors influencing the Thai workforce in generations Y and Z. Nonetheless, those relative factors may assist organizations in learning more about their employees from various generations.
