Abstract

Generational differences in the workplace have been the subject of much discussion for the field of management. In many cases, the technology savvy of the youngest generation in the workplace, coined “digital natives,” is the motivation behind organizational decision-making. However, little empirical evidence exists as to whether it is their comfort and confidence using technology that truly sets digital natives apart from their generational predecessors known as “digital immigrants.” Work values, those areas of importance that enhance satisfaction and engagement in the workplace, are rooted in the belief that there is a structure to basic human values. This study connects the theories of work values, generational differences, and computer self-efficacy to investigate if computer self-efficacy interacts with digital native status to influence differences in work values.
