The current research study evaluates the generational diversity that exist in the modern organizations and specifically the paper focus on the generational differences between Gen-X and Gen-Y professionals who are employed in IT and ITES industry. The current research aimed to investigate the possibilities of generational differences towards work commitment between the Gen-X and Gen-Y cohorts. The five types of work commitment that were studied for the generational differences are organizational commitment, work group commitment, work involvement, professional commitment and job involvement. In total, nine factors were examined in this research. Data was collected from 250 respondents which was then analyzed by two-Tailed t-Tests and from the results it was revealed that there is a significant difference found only in 3 out of 9 factors. The current findings show a greater insight for HR managers so that the observed differences are attributable to other factors (career and stage of life) instead of being an exclusive and true generational divide.
