Abstract

Over the few past decades, value gap among generations has presented new challenges for organizations. Although studies have suggested value congruence as a mechanism to bring generations closer together, this study presents evidence showing that providing an autonomysupportive environment, where higher levels of psychological need satisfaction for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are experienced by employees, facilitates the process of internalization and embrace of others' values. Such a context would result in better communication, mutual understanding, and bridging the generation gap effectively at workplace.
