Classifying the Need Patterns on Quality of Work Life for the New Generation: an Empirical Application of Ｑ Methodology
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
Due to economic growth and the increase in GNP, the background in which the new generation grew up is different from that of traditional generations.
Description
The new generation grew up in an environment that included an abundance of material goods, advanced information technology, diversified value system, and dramatic changes in society. Members of traditional generations have difficulty anticipating the attitudes and behavior of the new generation.
Facing these new workers entering the labor market, traditional managers are experiencing prominent barriers to effective communication with this new generation. As a general rule, the new generation has a higher level of need for quality of work life and likes to pursue jobs with “less work, more money, and that are nearby home”. Although the stereotyping isn’t completely fault, it will make some perceptual biases.

In view of the above problem, this study is aimed at classifying the need patterns on quality of work life for the new generation. Based on empirical data derived from 150 samples, this study adopts the Q methodology and discovers three need patterns for the new generation : the achievement-oriented pattern, compensation-oriented pattern, and security-oriented pattern. The majority of the new generation members in the achievement-oriented pattern are female, younger and single.
The majority of the members in the compensation-oriented pattern are male and married. The majority of the members in the security-oriented pattern are female and older. Actually, the new generation has grown up in an age of diversified values.
The differences between individuals are more evident than in traditional generations. Therefore, it is inappropriate to approach this new generation as a consolidated mass. This study recommends that managers do their best to understand the need patterns on quality of work life and make the right human resource management decisions for the new generation.
