Corporate core values and professional values of Generation Y from the perspective of the effectiveness of ethics programs

Abstract

Summary In order for a business activity to be ethical, one needs ethical employees. Nevertheless, the ongoing generational change leads to the situation in which the values and the resulting standards of ethical behavior that have been thus far embraced in the workplace may no longer be unacceptable or respected by young people that enter the labor market. The article sets out to answer the following questions: what place do core values occupy in ethics programs of businesses; is there any relationship between them and the professional values of employees; why take into account individual preferences of organization members in terms of value when developing the agenda of corporate values. An important point of the discussion has become the values shared by those entering the labor market (the so-called Generation Y, or millennials) and the differences in this regard between them and the employees who have been pursuing their professional careers for years now (Generation X).

Based on the literature review of current research, the research questions of the research can be summarized:…”

Millennials ¿similares o diferentes? Inclinación al individualismo en una sociedad colectivista

“…Las etiquetas generacionales que han trascendido en el tiempo, de alguna forma han sido causantes de variantes en el comportamiento y las relaciones entre individuos (Gorman et al 2004;Stankiewicz y Łychmus 2017;Stevanin et al 2018). Zhou et al (2018) sugirieron un fuerte cambio intergeneracional del colectivismo hacia el individualismo en China, que fue previamente analizado por Moore (2005), quien encontró que uno de los cambios más destacados es un nuevo tipo de individualismo debido a un nuevo término asociado con el ku.…”
