What the paper says

This study's intersectional approach offers new insights into the combined influence of gender and generation on job satisfaction. A web-based survey captured variables such as job meaningfulness, autonomy, pay, job security, and work-life balance. Findings indicate that male employees report higher overall satisfaction than females across all cohorts, with a narrower gender gap among younger generations. Intrinsic rewards enhance satisfaction for female millennials, while extrinsic rewards like pay impact males more. Older generations value organisational commitment, while younger groups prioritise engagement and balance. By promoting tailored strategies to improve job satisfaction, organisations can foster a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
