Abstract

Work, values and change are among most analyzed social issues, starting from ancient philosophers, to Middle Ages thinkers and nowadays sociologists, human resources researchers or business specialists. We have chosen to discus in this article how social change reflects on values attached to work, as the public discourse often draws attention on specific features of the young generations or millennials. The often-mentioned idea is that young adults are disengaged, not interested, superficial, frequently unstable and unreliable when analyzing their work behavior. For them, classical motivation theories and consecrated job satisfaction models seems like are not working. Starting from the assumption that values are the ones that orientate individuals` behavior, the purpose of this paper is to emphasize the connections that emerge between social changes, values transformation and working behavior, through the key of modernism-postmodernism shift.
