The question of what makes people happy still needs to be figured out. We used the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) to collect data from the participants. Our participants are Bangkok citizens and are required to use the LINE application, the most famous chatting application in Thailand, for connecting to our chatbot named AI-oon, developed for sending questionnaires to our participants. AI-oon would send surveys consisting of 2 questions: (1) What are you doing at that moment?, and (2) How will you rate your emotion?. We eventually analysed the data from 79 participants that contributed for 7 consecutive days. Then, we discovered that eating tends to be the activity that shows the highest level of happiness. On the contrary, doing housework and working/studying revealed the lowest level of happiness. Interestingly, we found out that Baby boomers and Generation X are significantly happier than Generation Y and Generation Z. We expect this research could provide some useful information for further studies in order to find the cause of the happiness level in each generation. Hopefully, it could be beneficial for governments and organizations to find appropriate measures and solutions to tackle their peoples stress and enhance their happiness levels.

Today's workforce is more diverse than ever, comprised of five generational cohorts: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. As each generation has its own values, beliefs, and expectations, their leadership preferences pose new challenges for organizations. In this chapter, leadership approaches are discussed, and the differences and similarities among preferred generational leadership styles are examined. The purpose of this chapter is to determine an appropriate leadership style that meets the needs of all generations, and globally responsible inter-generational leadership has been suggested as the most effective approach.

This study attempts to describe the value systems of four generations of employees—Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z—as well as to identify differences and similarities between values that are appreciated by them. Moreover, it presents a discussion on the essence and role of values in human life, a comparison of results of domestic and foreign research on differences among value systems, especially work–related values, and, finally, the results of an own study conducted applying qualitative methods. The analyses confirmed that there are many significant differences among the value systems of different generations of employees, but similarities, too. This underlines the importance of being familiar with these differences with respect to human resource management, creating working conditions, and choosing leadership style.

Рассматривается проблема сходства и различия социальных представлений о денежном долге у разных поколений. Приведен обзор отечественных и зарубежных исследований, описывающих особенности представителей поколений «беби-бумеров», X, Y и Z. Эмпирической проверке подверглись следующие гипотезы: (1) представители разных поколений будут иметь одинаковое содержание ядра социальных представлений о долге; (2) одинаковые социальные представления о долге у разных поколений будут по-разному связаны с различными социально-психологическими характеристиками. Представлены результаты эмпирического исследования с участием 391-го респондента, из которых 71 - представитель «беби-бумеров», 104 - поколения Х, 103 и 113 - Y и Z соответственно. Показано, что ядро социальных представлений о денежном долге у всех поколений составляют убеждения о собственной ответственности за возврат своих долгов, необходимости жизни в соответствии с доходами, минимизации стоимости займа и максимально быстром погашении имеющихся задолженностей. У беби-бумеров наибольшее количество взаимосвязей получено для убеждения «жить надо в соответствии со своими доходами» (с субъективным контролем в разных областях, сознательностью, доброжелательностью), у поколения Y - для утверждения «только я несу ответственность за возврат своих долгов» (с субъективным контролем в разных областях и переживанием вины и стыда), у X - всего две корреляции между утверждением «я всегда стараюсь отдавать долги как можно быстрее» и шкалами сознательность и доброжелательность большой пятерки, у Z все ядерные социальные представления о долге связаны с переживанием стыда и негативным отношением к себе. Сделаны выводы о том, что представители рассмотренных поколений имеют общее ядро социальных представлений о денежном долге, включающее убеждения, описывающие собственную ответственность и быстрое исполнение обязательств, важность расчетов и умеренность трат (жизнь по средствам). Для поколения беби-бумеров и представителей Z центральным является представление о том, что жить надо в соответствии со своими доходами, но для первых оно является более сложным. Для поколения X более значимым является представление о необходимости скорейшего возврата долгов, а для поколения Y - собственная ответственность за это. Для поколения Z исполнение обязательств связано с сознательностью и переживанием социальных эмоций. The paper considers the problem of similarities and differences in social representations of monetary debt among different generations. A review of domestic and foreign studies of the characteristics of representatives of baby-boomers, generations X, Y, Z is given. The following hypotheses were subjected to empirical testing: (1) representatives of different generations will have the same core of social representations about debt; (2) the same social representations about debt of different generations will have different grounds, namely, they are associated with different socio-psychological characteristics. Research methods: The Debt Behavior questionnaire, the Big Five questionnaires, the Locus of Control, Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale. The results of an empirical study are presented, respondents - are 391 in total, 71 are baby boomers, 104 are representatives of the X generation, 103 and 113 are Y and Z, respectively. As a result, it has been shown that the core of social representations about monetary debt for all generations consists of beliefs about their own responsibility for repaying their debts, the need to live in accordance with incomes, minimizing the cost of loans and repaying existing debts as quickly as possible. For baby-boomers, the greatest number of relationships with other socio-psychological characteristics was obtained for the belief that “one must live according to one’s income” (with subjective control in different areas, consciousness, agreeableness), and for generation Y, for the statement “only I am responsible for repaying my debts” (with subjective control in different areas and proneness to guilt and shame). Generation X had only two correlations - between the statement “I always try to repay debts as quickly as possible” and consciousness and agreeableness of the Big Five. In Generation Z, all core social representations of debt are associated with shame and a negative attitude towards oneself. Conclusions: representatives of generations of baby-boomers, X, Y, Z have a common core of social representations about monetary debt, including beliefs describing their own responsibility and quick fulfillment of obligations, the importance of calculations and moderation of spending (living according their income). For the generation of baby boomers and representatives of Z, the central idea is that one must live in accordance with their incomes, but for the former it is more complex and affects different aspects of the relationship, in comparison with Z and Y. For generation X, more significant is - the representation of the need to repay debts as soon as possible, and for Generation Y - their own responsibility for this. For Generation Z, fulfilling commitments is associated with consciousness and the experience of social emotions.

Cultural tourism is greatly impacted by the technical and social changes stemming from the communication and information revolutions, especially the rapid deployment and improvements in mobile communication. The tourism experience is conceptually divided into three phases: pre-trip, trip, and post-trip. Tourists are not a homogeneous community, especially in terms of their adoption of and usage of technology. Tourists are disaggregated by generation: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. Each of the three phases of the tourism experience is analyzed by generational tendencies. Each phase is disaggregated by key activities within the phase: pre-travel – inspiration, information gathering, booking, and other; travel – connectivity and other; and post-travel – sharing experiences, paying the bills, and other. The degree to which technology is employed and how the technology is employed is discussed in terms of each activity. Best practices by generation are put forth.

Abstract. Intraindividual variability, along with the more frequently studied between-person variability, has been argued to be one of the basic building blocks of emotional experience. The aim of the current study is to examine whether intraindividual variability in affect predicts tiredness in daily life. Intraindividual variability in affect was studied with the experience sampling method in a group of 110 participants (aged between 19 and 84 years) during 14 consecutive days on seven randomly determined occasions per day. The results suggest that affect variability is a stable construct over time and situations. Our findings also demonstrate that intraindividual variability in affect has a unique role in predicting increased levels of tiredness at the momentary level as well at the level of individuals.
