Abstrakt

Przez lata profil współczesnego mieszkańca miasta ewoluował i różnicował się ze względu na pojawianie się kolejnych pokoleń. Różne pokolenia charakteryzują się odmiennymi oczekiwaniami i perspektywami życiowymi. Dlatego też w dzisiejszym, bardzo dynamicznym środowisku władze miejskie muszą dogłębnie zrozumieć swoich mieszkańców, aby zbudować wpływową kulturę organizacyjną, która doprowadzi do wykształcenia się przyjaznych miastom obywateli w celu stworzenia odpornych, zrównoważonych i sprzyjających włączeniu społecznemu miast. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu określenie wpływu cech pracowników z pokoleń X, Y i Baby Boomers na kulturę organizacyjną i identyfikację organizacyjną w zakresie życia zawodowego i miejskiego. Z tej perspektywy przeprowadzono badanie na 460 pracownikach umysłowych, którzy są mieszkańcami miasta i pracują stacjonarnie w sektorze prywatnym w Stambule. Dane zostały uzyskane w trakcie badania ilościowego przeprowadzonego za pomocą kwestionariusza wywiadu z wykorzystaniem techniki wywiadu osobistego ze wspomaganiem komputerowym. Główne wnioski prowadzą do konkluzji, iż istnieje statystycznie istotny i pozytywny związek między kulturą klanową (β = 0,360, p < 0,01) oraz rynkową (β = 0,147, p < 0,05) a identyfikacją organizacyjną. Ponadto istnieje statystycznie istotny związek między poziomem doświadczenia pracowników a ich postrzeganiem kultury adhokracji (F = 3,19, p < 0,05), nie ma natomiast statystycznie istotnej różnicy między postrzeganiem kultury organizacyjnej i poziomu identyfikacji organizacyjnej przez pracowników z pokoleń X, Y i Baby Boomers.
