Özet (abstract)

The concept of generation is defined as community of people who were born nearly in the same years, experienced the life conditions of almost the same era, and coped with also the similar difficulties and had similar destinies and responsibilities with the other people. In this context, under the scope of this survey, the values that the people from different generations (X and Y) and living in Kırklareli give importance to the elements (job satisfaction, promotion opportunities, relations between colleagues, socio-political support, participant job climate, role ambiguity, access to the sources, access to the knowledge and the meaning of work) of the work concept have been searched. The survey has been made with 363 participants. In the analysis result, the variable with the highest score is determined as “the meaning of work”, whereas the variable with the lowest score is determined as “role ambiguity”. For the 78.5% of the participants, the work means; source of living, however, the 21.5% define the work as “the way of expressing himself/herself”. It is seen that there has been no change in the meaning of work among the individuals from different generations (Z: -1,096; p: 0.27); whereas, for the ones who define work as the “way of expressing himself/herself” the level of meaning of work is higher than the level of meaning of work, as for the ones who define the work as “source of living” (Z: -3,494; p: 0.00). Following the survey, it has been determined that the way of expressing thework does not show any differences for the participants from X and Y generations (Chi-square: 0.315; p: 0.57)
