摘要:Studies have revealed that the “baby boomers” generation has a lower level of intention to quit as compared to Generation X and Generation Y. Meanwhile, Generation Z has a higher level of intention to quit than Generation Y although the former has gained abundant support from the relevant organisations. Addressing that, this concept paper focuses on the relationship between multi-generation and the intention to quit working. The emphasis on personality and psychological behaviour of this multi-generation are reflected in social exchange that values work based on the influence of each generation concept. This study will specifically discuss social exchange theory, organisational support theory, and the conceptual model of the relationship between multi-generation and intention to quit working. This concept paper provides valuable contribution to the existing knowledge base, especially on how multi-generation plays a role in affecting the intention to quit in an organisation. The implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed.
