Gerações no âmbito organizacional: o caso de uma entidade associativista de Nova Petrópolis

Abstract

Organizations are in a dynamic landscape, where survive the ones that are able to adapt to the frequent changes. The challenge in this scenario, which has been gaining organizational prominence, is a coexistence between generations within the labor market, thus needing to expand research on the subject in Brazil. It is in this bias, that the present study investigated how the Baby Boomer, X, Y and Z generations interfere in the organizational environment of an association located in Nova Petrópolis. Thus, to reach the proposed goal, the case study was carried out in an associative entity of Nova Petrópolis. The research is a qualitative approach and as a collection tool we used semi-structured interviews, individual, in-depth, non-participant observation and analysis of secondary data, making it possible to triangulate the data. Data analysis was performed based on the technique of content analysis. Through the research with the associative entity of Nova Petrópolis, it was possible to understand the individuals belonging to the Baby Boomer, X, Y and Z generations, to identify the generational characteristics and how they interfere in the organizational scope. The results found point to the existence of a good relationship between the professionals of the Baby Boomer, X, Y and Z generations in the work environment, however, it was identified the occurrence of conflicts and that impact on individual performance. The results also emphasized the importance of relativizing the topic of generations, since it encompasses characteristics and unique experiences of each individual. At the end, the limitations of the research and suggestions for future studies were presented. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
