Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the current research achievements regarding the differences and similarities between attitudes towards work among employees of different ages1. The research and analysis of differences in attitudes, manifested by the representatives of different generations, pose a number of methodological problems which can have a big impact on final conclusions. The text attempts to analyse intergenerational differences regarding: work in the hierarchy of values, work satisfaction, loyalty to the employer and flexibility for changes. The author did not conduct his own empirical research, as the aim of this article was to gather available results of the research already conducted. The conclusions from the studies cited are of a practical nature and are intended for both academics and business practitioners.
