Lower Levels of Organizational Commitment among Generation Y and Z Workers within the Scope of Central New York Hospitals and Higher Turnover Rates ()
ABSTRACT
This research included examining the lower level of
organizational commitment among the Millennials (Generation Y) and Generation Z
Western populations within the scope of the Central New York healthcare
environment and its impact on turnover rates and organizational costs.
Individualism is prioritizing self-based needs over the needs of the community
and others. Moreover, individualism contributed to developing the Generation Y
and Z population perspective. Individuals born between 1981 and 2002 will be
the targeted age group of this research, because these Generation Y and Z population members are of traditional
occupational age. Furthermore, the scope of the research included the sample
age group within the scope of the Central New York healthcare environment. I
explored the impact of individualism on Generation Y and Z members in the
Central New York healthcare setting regarding their perception of the
organizational environment and the consequent influence on organizational
commitment levels. This foundational research highlighted that Generation Y and
Z members are becoming more individualistic or self-serving. Therefore,
modern-day Western organizational leaders must adopt a leadership approach that
complements the perspective of the Generation Y and Z generational members if
the leader desires to be successful in the modern-day organizational setting.
Transformational and servant-based leadership approaches can meet the
Generation Y and Z workforce’s needs while inspiring organizational commitment.
