Generational Changes and Workplace Flexibility: Lessons from Nigeria

The occupational flexibility of generational changes in Nigeria (Generations X and Y) is investigated in this study. The study’s sample sizes were proportionately determined while the descriptive survey design approach was adopted. One hundred and seventy-nine (179) surveys were distributed and used for the study. To ascertain the association between the two variables on a five-point Likert scale, the analysis was conducted using a statistical technique called the Correlation Model. The tested hypothesis is that there is a Pearson Correlation =.228** and a correlation of.002 at the 0.01 level (2-tailed) between workplace flexibility and Generation X and Y. This suggests that, at Nestle Foods Nigeria Plc in Lagos, workplace flexibility and Generation X and Y have a substantial link. To put it another way, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Ultimately, the following suggestions were made: In order to increase commitment, businesses should take into account the psychological well-being of their employees by conveying to them that their welfare is important, regardless of their age within the firm. When implementing new technology and interacting with all generations, managers should be adaptable and transparent in their approach to work and organizational goals and objectives. To address the issues of several generations within an organization, it is important to foster a culture of teamwork, collaboration, and effective communication between Generation X and Generation Y among all employees
