Özet:

Drawing on multigenerational theory, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether academics from different generations differentiate in their perceptions of job insecurity and work-family conflict.  For his purpose, two hypothesis were tested by applying ANOVA analysis to data collected from 335 academics working in six different private universities in Istanbul. The results of the hypothesis testing indicate that, academics from generation Y (1980-1995) and X (1945-1965) perceive higher level to be job insecurity than Baby Boomers.  However, there are no significant differences between Generation Y, Generation X and Baby Boomers with regard to work-family conflict perceptions. Since, only one of the hypothesis is partially supported, it can be assessed that, the generalizability of multigenerational theory to Turkish context is controversial.
