the generation of people born between 1963 and 1981 who entered the workplace from the 1980s onward, bringing new attitudes to working life that run contrary to traditional corporate expectations. The term was popularized by the writing of Douglas Coupland and also by Bruce Tulgan in Managing Generation X (1995). Those who belong to Generation X are said to be not solely motivated by money, but they look for a work-life balance, favor flexible working, embrace the concept of employability, and value opportunities for learning, self-advancement, and new challenges. Human resource management practices are increasingly being adapted to accommodate new ways of working.
