Enhancing work efficiency through multi-generations

Abstract

This study explores the factors affecting work efficiency in multigenerational teams, specifically focusing on employees who born between 1965-1979 working alongside those who born between 1995-2009 at ABC Company. The research aims to identify the key determinants influencing work efficiency, including working perspectives, working styles, and communication styles. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 245 respondents through an electronic questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis, were conducted to identify significant relationships between the studied variables. The findings indicate that working perspectives are the most influential factor affecting work efficiency, emphasizing the importance of shared goals, values, and attitudes in fostering productivity. Working styles also play a moderate role, highlighting the value of flexibility and adaptability in overcoming generational differences. Interestingly, communication styles, while essential for collaboration, were found to have no significant direct impact on work efficiency, suggesting that mutual understanding and workplace norms mitigate potential challenges in communication preferences. This study contributes valuable insights into managing multigenerational teams and underscores the importance of fostering aligned perspectives and flexible working styles to enhance productivity. Practical recommendations for managers include implementing mentorship programs, promoting collaborative environments, and conducting workshops to align generational perspectives.
