With the rise of the New Guard the older generation is increasingly marginalized as well as their influence.<\/p>\n<p>This generational influences marginalization has accelerated with the latest round of Chaebol family succession well underway.\u00a0As before with succession of the Chaebol Founders to a second generation of family control, which mostly occurred in the mid 1990s, all now is moving in to the third generation These heirs in the 40s are at the helm at Samsung, Hyundai Motor Group, and LG (as recent as this week), etc. \u00a0In turn, management and trusted advisors surrounding these Chaebol heirs are now of the same generation, too.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, as a prelude to the recent successions we\u2019ve seen the exiting of older senior management, most stepping down and into retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Between these groups we find a layer of managers and executives described by the term \u201csandwiched\u201d &#8212; used to denote a generation now in their late 40s and into the 50s.<\/p>\n<p>This age group has social, workplace and political views influenced by western education and work abroad that differ from those of the older generation of people in their 60s and 70s.<\/p>\n<p>But in many ways their values, which emphasize the importance of collective organizations such as work, nation, and society, are still similar to those of the Old Guard generation.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the \u201csandwiched\u201d group\u2019s mentality often clashes with the younger generation whose top priority is individual freedom.<\/p>\n<p>As one \u201csandwiched\u201d executive shared \u201cWhen I was a rookie, I didn\u2019t have any choice but to be quiet when I had an issue or I disagreed with my superiors. But nowadays, the younger generation boldly express their opinions in the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In turn, this younger generation now expects management to emulate this norm of open discussion and expression\u2014a behavior that the Old Guard also find unacceptable and improper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Changing Workplace <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The introduction of the \u201cteam system\u201d and western norms by many Korean companies to address issues of a hierarchy system and to improve efficiency has increased the difficulty for the Old Guard to give direct orders to younger workers.<\/p>\n<p>As noted a veteran manager, \u201cMany young workers don\u2019t recognize the authority of their seniors. They often say \u2018we are all members of a team. No more, no less\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Concerns <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adding to the challenge, the younger generation sees many faults in both \u201csandwiched\u201d managers and well as the Old Guard.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the younger group argues that both older generations often erroneously blame others for problems. \u201cThey don\u2019t realize the real problem. They are really stubborn and pigheaded. They are not ready to listen to younger workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey keep saying that we have to do this and that, but they never set a good example for us. Naturally, we don\u2019t respect them at all,\u201d said a young Seoul professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An Internal Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Similar to today&#8217;s organizations in America, Korean organizations are presented with the internal challenge of creating harmony and cohesiveness among multi- generational employees.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals from each generation (i.e. traditionalist, baby boomer, Generation X, or Generation Y) bring divergent values, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations based on their life experiences.<\/p>\n<p>These multi-generational labels may not be used exactly the same in Korea, but the issues that Korean organizations face caused by the gap between different generations are the same.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals of each generation group grew up in the same time period witnessing and participating in common historical events as well as political and economic changes.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, these individuals with similar frames of reference have an easier time building bonds and working together in harmony than working with individuals from other generation groups.<\/p>\n<p>The particular characteristics of each generation deeply influence how employees think about many aspects of organizational behavior, such as motivation, satisfaction, creativity, innovation, loyalty, commitment, and teamwork.<\/p>\n<p>This accentuates the importance of understanding the distinctive characteristics of each generation group in order to engender successful outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bridgingculture.com\">http:\/\/www.bridgingculture.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we are witnessing increasing generational influences and a divide in the Korea workplace.\u00a0 Many firms are adapting to this change, as the workforce is increasingly a younger generation.
