Abstract

One of the most fundamental challenges facing human resources management is generation diversity. Accordingly, the present study clarified the difference in generations’ work values and the effects of them in the workplace by quantitatively combining results of related researches. This research is an applied one in terms of purpose and a descriptive study in terms of research type. The statistical population included 135 external and internal papers, in which 20 papers were entered in meta-analysis process using judgmental method. Identification reliability was obtained through the agreement of the referees in the selection and classification of researches. The coding reliability was obtained through the agreement of the referees on the use of specific concepts for encoding variables, and the significance of the level and the size of the effect reliability was obtained through an agreement in measuring the effect size between the two meta-analyzers. By analyzing each generation data using CMA2 software, the results showed that work values are distinct among different generations.
