چکیده
A Generation can be defined by the changes in the common behavior of its populace when compared with its predecessors. It is normally assumed that each generation comprises of individuals born in span of 15-20 yrs, with some born within generational boundaries exhibiting characteristics of both generations.

When managers and subordinates have different attitudes & beliefs, there is bound to be some generational collision that can result in dissatisfaction in the work environment. Motivation depends upon the understanding the needs and aspiration of the subjects; generational collision acts as an intrinsic blocker to the process.
