Abstract: Although researchers often allude to the notion that generational differences in workfamily balance exist, no one has empirically tested this assumption.Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine differences between three generational cohorts (i.e., Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials) on the construct work-family balance, and for further interpretation, worknonwork balance, using both quantitative and qualitative data.Although the data failed to support the hypothesis that differences would exist between generations in self-reported levels of work-family (and work-nonwork) balance, exploratory analyses revealed a significant difference between generations in attitudes towards money and spending.Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
