Abstract: The paper presents results of the research focused on the coexistence of different generations of employees. Described in the paper is the importance of selected motivational factors and motivational needs fulfilment with respect to different generational groups of employees. The research was carried out at the University based on the data collection from business practice of industrial enterprises. The analysed data were collected in 2018, the total sample consisted of 534 respondents. The respondents were exclusively employees of industrial enterprises. Based on the processing, analysis and evaluation of the collected data, it is possible to draw some recommendations for the management of industrial enterprises, which has to continually face the question of how to approach staff management effectively. The research results are based on examination of different preferences of the employees from various generations, and they point at the need of taking into account the requirements and needs of employees, differentiated according to their age. Respecting these requirements will make possible for managers to take into account the specificities of employees of different ages, and to indicate the ways of effectively managing the age-diversified workforce.
