The objective of this study was to determine (1) if there is a difference between Baby
Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y employees’ perceptions of organisational
culture and if so, (2) to determine if generational sub-cultures are formed within an
organisation as a result of these different perceptions. A quantitative research design
was chosen, and employees (n = 455) in a large South African information and
communication technologies (ICT) sector company, selected through proportionate,
random, stratified sampling, completed the South African Culture Instrument (SACI).
Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data, and the results of
this study indicate that generational sub-cultures can be identified in the
organisation, based on significantly different perceptions of five of the seven
dimensions of organisational culture examined. This study therefore contributes to
the body of knowledge on organisational culture and the formation of sub-cultures at
a generational level and can be used to enhance organisational talent and
management strategies. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
