Work Ethics Generation by Generation
Work Ethics Generation By Generation
A Pakistani generation is defined by the common attitudes, experiences and preferences that develop in the context of social and economic events of a defined period of time. Generations typically are associated with birth year ranges. Generational commonalities transcend cultural and gender differences. The social and economic influences that create popular culture are experienced by all within a generation, even though culture and gender play a role in how the experience is interpreted individually. Every generation has its own working styles in organizations. The nature of work and the way of doing that work also changes with the changing times.
The nature of work has changed dramatically over the last one hundred years and especially over the last thirty, which has caused many time management practices that worked well for previous generations to become obsolete.
In the beginning of this century most the work in organizations was done by traditional workers. They have to repeat the same work over and over again to keep the organizations running. Their work was confined to desk jobs done in the early part of the century; Traditional type of management was suitable for these conventional workers management. The management was well aware of how to take work from such employees and how to manage them. With the passage of time attitude, behavior, perception, expertise, knowledge of the employees modified. Their style of working changed with the change in generation. Literacy increased with the changing generations. Working style became better and better.
I have characterized Pakistani generation into four main generations; first, the people who were born before the independence of Pakistan. Second generation is, the people who have worked in the era of revolution from 1947 to 1965. Third, our father’s generation who worked from 1965 to 1999 and finally, our generation the young and independent generation.
