The Generation Gap and Employee Relationship

We live in a world of different generations. Some people perceive it as a great divide and difficulty to get along in an organizational situation. The Generation Gap as discussed in many forums as usual a creation of human ingenuity and imagination. It is difficult to imagine any point of time in history when such generation Gaps did not exist and people found it difficult to get along with others in the family or society at large. Consider the joint families and large families of yester years; they did not have any difficulty to get along as a family or live happily in society. But the so called progress in human endeavors has made way for smaller families and the dispersal of industries has contributed for human settlements to be far from the mooring In the industries and modern factories which are well dispersed the husband and wife pairs are constrained to live separately from the larger family set up. Inside the companies we find people of different cultures working together to make a profit. This naturally leads to a situation where different generations of people are put together to work and generate surpluses. But working together needs a lot of adjustments. This paper deals with that.
