Examining the Effectiveness of Teamwork in Work Engagement among Gen Y-A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

As the older generation is retiring from the workforce, it became a concern for many organizations on ways to manage the new generation who is flowing into the current workforce. This new generation is known as Gen Y. This generation workforce often linked to job hopping and their loyalty towards the organization is being questioned by researchers as many organizations are experiencing a high level of attrition among them. This study investigated teamwork as a critical success factor of work engagement among Gen Y. The methodology adopted in this study includes an extensive review of the literature on teamwork that contributes to working engagement, followed by questionnaire distribution and then the answers were processed and statistically measured and analyzed. The results of this study conclude that there is a significant positive relationship between teamwork, work engagement and IR 4.0. The practical implications of the study will be useful for the organization to address and examine the effect of teamwork that influences work engagement to reduce high turnover among Gen Y employees.

Diversity Management and Work Engagement of Academic Staff of Kyambogo University, Uganda

“…The results for hypothesis two to the effect that diversity management programmes have a significant influence on the workplace engagement of academic staff showed that the hypothesis was rejected. This finding was inconsistent with the findings of previous scholars (Alshaabani et al, 2021;Ganji et al, 2021;Gupta & Gomathi, 2022;Jayashree et al, 2019;Kang & Sung, 2017;Mbhele & De Beer, 2021;Mistry et al, 2021;Ravikumar, 2013;Verčič & Men, 2023), who indicated that employee engagement was positively influenced by diversity management programmes. However, the diversity programmes had a significant influence on work engagement because the descriptive results revealed that the programmes were given less prominence in the university.…”

“…On their part, Verčič and Men (2023), in a study involving workers in Croatian firms, reported that internal communication had a significant influence on employee engagement. In a review, Jayashree et al (2019) established the existence of a significant positive relationship between team-building teamwork programmes and work engagement. Finally, in a study involving employees of small and medium enterprises in India, Ravikumar (2013) found that teamwork had a meaningful positive association with employee engagement.…”

Examining the role of team climate, transactive memory system, and team leader humility in teams: an empirical study of Indian generational cohorts

“…Furthermore, Indian cohorts rated team climate and team leader humility higher. The findings stand in support of the existing literature, as GenY prefers a healthy work climate, where the engagement from team members could be enhanced to attain the outcome (Jayashree et al. , 2019), and a flexible work environment and teamwork motivates them (Camp et al.…”
