Abstract: The present study aims to analyze the moderating effect of generational membership (Generation X and Millennials) on the relationship between job resources and organizational commitment for Romanian teaching staff working in the public educational system. A sample of 301 teachers (59.5 % affiliated with generation X) was involved. It was found that generational belonging significantly moderated the relationship between colleagues’ support and normative commitment and between job autonomy and continuance commitment. These results reflected motivational differences between Millennials and Generation X. The practical implications for adapting management strategies based on the generational appreciation of job resources in schools as an organization are discussed further.
