LEADING A MULTIGENERATIONAL WORKFORCE

This week, you will reassess your knowledge, skills, and abilities as you examine working with a multigenerational workforce.

Assignment Instructions

The United States is often called a “melting pot”—referencing the diversity of the population. That diversity is reflected in many different ways: gender, ethnicity, race, religion, culture, and generational values that are generally a function of age.

This assignment asks you to explore and explain how generational values impact organizational culture and the challenges created as workforce diversity increases. A major component of this assignment is to develop tactics that are necessary to ensure effective and efficient attainment of organizational objectives given a generationally diverse workforce.

For help finding peer-reviewed articles, refer to How Do I Find Peer-Reviewed Articles?

Your assignment will be graded on the following criteria:

  1. Apply scholarly literature to explain the values of generational cohorts that exist in your workplace.
    • Identify at least three generational cohorts (for example, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, or others) that exist in your workplace.
    • Drawing from the assigned readings and recent scholarly literature (that is, peer-reviewed journals), briefly explain the values of each generational cohort.
  2. Apply EI to address intergenerational conflicts in your workplace.
    • Identify one common workplace conflict for each pairing of generational cohorts, for a total of 3 conflicts. For example: a) Boomers and Gen X; b) Boomers and Gen Y; c) Gen X and Gen Y.
    • Explain how a leader or manager with high EI in your workplace might integrate EI to address those conflicts. For example, they might vary their communication methods (listening, giving feedback, and mentoring) in response to differing generational values.
  3. Synthesize scholarly literature to explain the advantages and disadvantages of a multigenerational workforce in delivering care to a diverse patient population.
    • To “synthesize” is to summarize evidence from multiple sources in your own words, present the evidence in an organized way, and effectively develop your own position on the topic. Consider how your sources relate to one another: How are they similar and different? Why are these relationships important? Report information from your sources accurately and demonstrate a full understanding of the sources.
    • What does recent scholarly literature suggest about the value of a multigenerational workforce?
    • What risks have been associated with a multigenerational workforce?
    • How do those potential strengths and weaknesses interact with respect to the diversity of the patient population?
  4. Evaluate the limitations of categorizing employees based on their generational cohorts.
    • To “evaluate” is to make value judgments about a particular subject according to a set of criteria, in order to determine its worth or significance. A further goal of evaluation may be to improve effectiveness or to inform decisions.
    • What are the challenges of grouping people into such broad categories?
    • Explain how managers must be aware of these issues when dealing with employees.
  5. Use paraphrasing and summarization to represent ideas from external sources.
    • “Paraphrasing” is translating another person’s ideas into your own words in a passage of roughly the same length as the original. Like quotations, paraphrases are still based on someone else’s ideas and must be cited.
    • “Summarizing” involves briefly describing, in your own words, the main points or key terms from a source. The purpose of a summary is to take the most salient information from a greater body of work and distill it into a sentence or a paragraph. Summaries must be cited.

Additional Requirements

  • You are expected to draw meaningful content from at least two recent articles (no more than 5 years old) from scholarly (peer-reviewed) research journals.
  • Your paper is expected to offer an assessment of the empirical findings of the articles and offer insights into the managerial implications.
  • Note: You may use the assigned readings as part of the paper, but these readings do not count toward the two that are required.
  • The paper should be at least 8 pages (double-spaced), but no more than 12 pages in length.
  • A title page and reference are required (these are not part of the page count).
  • An abstract is not required.
  • The format should not take a question-answer approach; rather, it should use a standard narrative approach.

  • Is there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?

    We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.

    We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.

  • I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?

    Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.

    After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.

  • How will I receive a completed paper?

    You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.
  • Where do I upload files?

    When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
