The rapid development of the tourism industry in Indonesia has also contributed to the intense level of competition among tourism destination and their supporting industries. Marketers are required to be smarter in determining the promotion tool and marketing strategies of their businesses. This survey research aims to improve understanding of the characteristics and travelling behavior from two different market segments namely Generation X (born 1965-1980) and Generation Y or Millennial Generation (born 1981-2000). Data collection techniques were carried out by triangulation, namely literature review, questionnaires and interviews face to face directly and through WhatssApp. The sample of respondents used was 162 Gen-X and 244 Gen-Y selected purposively, by distributing questionnaires during February 2020 to visitors who have traveled to the city of Bogor. Data analysis was performed descriptively qualitative. The result from this survey research in this case study is that Gen-X and Gen-Y have many similarities in terms of characteristics and travel behavior. Significant differences in the two generations are in the 3 attributes of Respondent Characteristics (gadget usage time per day, social media preferences used, travel budget) and Travel Behavior in the aspects of Initiation, Decision Making, When Traveling and Post-Traveling.

With Generation Z entering the workplace, there are currently three generations (Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z) that must work together and coordinate within the company. However, Generation Z is known to be a “job hopper” generation. They like to switch between jobs for a certain reason. This behavior is surely associated with the concept of organizational commitment. Furthermore, both variables (motivation and satisfaction in work) presumed to have a great impact on organizational commitment. Therefore, the aim of this study is to observe on how to enhance Generation Z’s organizational commitment through job satisfaction and work motivation. This observation is to explain on what Generation Z expects and values the most in the workplace and how employers can meet those expectations. Research method used is desktop-based research which consists of secondary data collected from different research papers, journals, articles, and books.

Las organizaciones enfrentan el reto de gestionar una fuerza laboral multigeneracional con características propias que difieren en el valor que le otorgan al trabajo. La incorporación al mercado laboral de las generaciones más jóvenes hace imprescindible el estudio de sus diferentes actitudes hacia el trabajo en comparación con las generaciones antecesoras. El propósito de la investigación fue analizar a través del constructo de la ética protestante las diferencias existentes en las actitudes hacia el trabajo de cuatro generaciones (Baby Boomers, Generación X, Generación Y, y Generación Z). La muestra de 624 participantes ecuatorianos (BB 11.2%; GX 11.2%, GY 58.5% y GZ 19.1%) se agrupó por cohortes. Se aplicó el Cuestionario Multidimensional Ética del Trabajo (MWEP). Los resultados mostraron que los BB y la GX tiene una mayor creencia en la importancia del trabajo y más tolerancia a la utilización improductiva del tiempo de trabajo que las generaciones Y y Z. En el aplazamiento de las recompensas la GZ muestra puntuaciones superiores a las obtenidas por los BB, GX y GY. No se encuentran diferencias significativas en las dimensiones de autoconfianza, ocio y moralidad-ética. Enterprises face the challenge of managing a multigenerational workforce which has its characteristics that differ in the value they grant to work. Incorporation of younger generations into the labour market requires to study all their attitudes towards work, contrasting them with previous generations. The purpose of this research was to analyse, through the Protestant Ethic construct, the differences of four age groups in attitudes towards work (Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z). Cohorts grouped the sample of 624 Ecuadorians (BB 11.2%; Gen X 11.2%, Gen Y 58.5% and Gen Z 19.1%). The Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile (MWEP) was applied. The results showed that BB and Gen X believe more in the importance of work than generations Y and Z. At the same time, BB and Gen X are more tolerant to the unproductive use of time than generations Y and Z. Gen Z has higher scores than BB, Gen X and Gen Y in the postponement of rewards dimension. Besides, there are no meaningful differences in self-reliance, leisure and morality/ethics dimensions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to document a gap between generation X and Y’s behavior toward decision making for hiring a professional financial planner in context of an emerging country. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on a public survey in Malaysia on the effect of five major contributing factors (namely, awareness, acceptability, affordability, accessibility and assurance) on the decision to hire a professional financial planner. The study further shed light into the difference among the influential factors among generation X and Y. Findings Although awareness, acceptability, affordability and assurance have demonstrated significant effect on decision making in general, their impact varies among different age groups. Results of moderation tests on the role of age suggest that for Gen X, the determinant factor is only their acceptability of the financial planning service. However, awareness, affordability, acceptability and assurance are critical factors for Gen Y respondents. In contrast to Gen Y, the Gen X respondents tend to have more awareness toward their needs for financial planning; they have gained enough experience to assess the credibility of the planner and test their assurance; and have higher earnings to afford the financial planners services. Originality/value Findings of this study are novel as it provide first hand picture from an emerging market in South-East Asia. Moreover, the study documents generation gap in financial decision making process.

Generation Y (Gen Y) is becoming more important to marketers as its members continue to enter the workforce. Members of this generational cohort are essential to the tourism industry as they engage in planning vacations themselves. This study accesses the information search behaviour of Gen Y and makes comparisons to the previous generation, Generation X (Gen X). A demographic profile, including information sources, is compiled. Additionally, several proposals were developed based upon the literature regarding tourism information searches and decision-making for Gen X and Y. Key constructs were identified as part of the purchase decision process. They were analysed using primary research study data. Specifically, independent-samples t-tests were used to test the propositions. The analyses revealed that there were significant differences between generational cohorts regarding technology-based information sources, risk aversion and use of information sources. As a result, this study offers a synthesis of contingency factors affecting tourist decision-making. It provides both theoretical and managerial implications.

The changing scenario of academic structure especially with the different age groups of faculty members has lead to varying expectations. Each generation has a different set of skills and experience and that needs to be shared amongst other faculty members. But due to the behavioral differences between the generations, it leads to hindrance in communication and sharing of knowledge. This empirical paper highlights the difference in altruistic behavior of Multi-Generational Faculty members. For this purpose study group included 383 faculty members from Prayagraj and Lucknow. Cohort Analysis will help in understanding the importance of encouraging altruistic behavior amongst Multi-Generational Faculty members. In this paper three generations that are Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y has been taken for the study. It was also analyzed to find out the difference that the altruistic behavior amongst the generation and within the generation varies or not. The findings and results are based on ANOVA analysis and further on Tukey HSD Test.

Based on intergeneration theories, 2721 randomly sampled pollees are classified into 4 generations; namely Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X and Gen BB. This paper aims to identify the difference between Mongolian generations, especially on subjective criteria to assess politicians. Based on the statistical result of factor analysis, 20 criteria are classified into 5 factors. KMO measurements above .800 and absolute significance value above .30 is used to set the boundaries for criteria grouped in one category and overlapping criteria are examined with ground justifications. Public perception of potential political representatives is researched among each generation, and commonality and discrepancies among generations are explained with quantitative verifications in the following paper. Statistics results reveal that there are common factors between Gen Z and Y, in which they perceive the factors such as the qualification and the public skills in a similar manner. Also, older generations including Gen X and BB have uniform understanding of education and political experience of politicians.

Currently, the faculty at post-secondary institutions are mostly Baby Boomer and Generation-X (Gen X) faculty teaching Gen-Y and -Z students as undergraduates.  According to numerous social commentators, these generations tend to vary in their worldviews, and the differences can challenge the teaching-learning relationship.   In the following discussion, we would like to share some information from a few current resources that attempt to characterize and analyze the two most dominant generations among post-secondary students today.  Then, we will pose a few ways that teacher educators might seek to update their instruction for Gen-Z students.
