Abstract
Generational differences are prevalent in today’s work force. The main two generations working today are Generation X and Generation Y. Job attraction and engagement are areas of interest both with and without generational terms. This research aimed to establish if generations differences were present for job attraction and engagement levels for Generation X and Generation Y.
The study used an online survey using two validated scales one job attraction and one engagement. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling from both Generation X and Y. result found that of the two hypotheses in the study only one could be kept. The hypothesis of Generation X having a higher level of engagement to that of Generation Y was proven to have significant difference. Whereas the hypothesis of Generation Y having significant differences in job attraction was rejected as not proven.
