Abstract

Changes are considered essential to every industrial enterprise since changes are unavoidable part of the existence and management of all types of organizations. It can be seen that, comparing to the past, variety of changes in organizations is increasing, increases their frequency, and the speed with which they need to be implemented. Appropriate chosen and applied management practices can help to manage the implementation of changes in the organization and employees to perform their work without growing concerns over changes. The aim of the paper is to present the results of research aimed at identifying the degree of conservatism and progressivism in attitudes towards change with respect to different generational groups of employees. A questionnaire method was used to collect data. The research sample consisted of employees of industrial enterprises and employees working in the public sector with a total of n = 79. Quantitative statistical methods and thought processes were used to process and interpret the obtained data. Processing of collected data was done in Microsoft Excel.
