Job Insecurity and Work-Family Conflict Perceptions of Different Generations in Business Life

Drawing on multigenerational theory, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether academicians from different generations differentiate in their perceptions of job insecurity and work-family conflict. Fort his purpose, two hypothesis were tested by applying ANOVA analysis to data collected from 335 academicians working in six different private universities in ？stanbul. The results of the hypothesis testing indicate that, academicians from generation Y (1980-1995) and X (1945-1965) perceive higher level ol job insecurity than Baby Boomers. However, there are no significant differences among Generation Y, Generation X and Baby Boomers with regard to work-family conflict perceptions. Since, only one of the hypothesis is partially supported, it can be assessed that, the generalizability of multigenerational theory to Turkish context is controversial
