A Study on the Compatibility between the Professional Values of the New Generation Employees and the Incentive Mechanisms of Enterprises

Liyuan Zhang

Abstract


As the younger generations represented by those born in the 1990s and 2000s have gradually become an important force in the
workplace, the issue of the alignment between their professional values and the existing incentive mechanisms of enterprises has become in
creasingly prominent. Based on Maslows Hierarchy of Needs Theory and the Expectancy Theory, this paper uses the literature research meth
od to first extract the key characteristics of the professional values of the younger generation employees, and then explore the main deviations
of the current enterprise incentive mechanisms when they are aligned with this group. On this basis, this paper attempts to propose a series of
systematic collaborative optimization suggestions to help enterprises attract, retain, and motivate the younger generation employees more ef
fectively, thereby providing theoretical references and management practice inspirations for improving the overall organizational efficiency.
