“…Employees who represent different generational cohorts tend to demonstrate significantly different work-related values, attitudes and behaviours (Pasko et al, 2020). Generational awareness has recently been recognized as a key competency for managers to be able to effectively engage subordinates from different generational cohorts (Boyle et al, 2018;Lowe et al, 2020;Rudolph et al, 2018). The majority of employees in contemporary workforces represent three generations including the Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials (Lu & Gursoy, 2016;Twenge et al, 2010).…”

Organizational engagement has only recently gained traction in research literature despite engagement being considered as a multidimensional construct encompassing engagement with the work, job or the organization. Organizational engagement of Millennials is crucial for organizational success today given that Millennials are the largest generational cohort in contemporary workforces and they are expected to lead the transformation of organizations at the onset of Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. Novel theoretical approaches that are applied in the case of employee or work engagement, such as the social identity perspective, appear to have been ignored in the case of organizational engagement. This article aims to present a narrative review of extant research literature on organizational engagement of Millennials relating to the theories and frameworks of engagement, and thereby to identify knowledge gaps and recommend future research directions and theoretical perspectives that may help fill these gaps. The literature review was conducted using Google Scholar, Emerald Insight, Research Gate and JSTOR and considered published empirical studies incorporating quantitative methods.

“…We were also told that learners were changing, that millennials and Generation Z would come to us with different expectations in terms of faculty-student interactions, classroom design, and content delivery. 11 Many educational institutions, including Harvard and Stanford, developed massive open online courses (MOOCs) intended to allow greater and unobstructed public access to course content. Medical schools began exploring accelerated programs that might shorten the time to earn a medical degree to three years.…”

The pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus identified in 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in seismic changes throughout society. Accordingly, academia has been forced to adapt. Changes across all aspects of teaching and instruction have occurred. Students have departed campuses and prospects of their return remain unclear. The Academy, which is generally reluctant to change, has been forced to make rapid adjustments. Among other issues, pharmacy schools and colleges have been forced to mitigate changes to experiential education. Tremendous resources and energy have been invested to actuate the changes that have occurred. In many ways, the disruptions forced upon pharmacy education may usher in a new normal. The likelihood for even a partial return to the customary way of doing things appears increasingly unlikely.

“…For example, Gen Z students are eager to acquire the practical skills necessary to form their professional identities, while struggling with the interpersonal aspects of such identity formation (Hampton & Keys, 2016;Seemiller & Grace, 2019). Boyle et al (2018) suggest that faculty members in pharmacy education acknowledge how their own ideas and experiences differ from future practitioners, embracing that generational differences can strengthen a profession's culture. Cruess et al (2019) discuss engaging today's health sciences students in their own identity formation by providing communities that foster entry into their professions.…”
