Abstract

Shame has many different meanings across discipline. Everyone who is coming from diverse backgrounds, can have different perceptions in interpreting shame. When people are working and being employees, shame plays an important role in shaping their behavior at work. This research looks at these differences in perceptions within multigenerational context, namely the Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. The objective of this research is to obtain comprehensive results by examining people from different backgrounds and ages and understanding how impact on themselves and their relationships with other employees. This study uses a qualitative content analysis approach to obtain a clearer context from the 235 participants. As a result, the employees across generation associated shame with negative actions at work. They feel uncomfortable with these actions, and some of them are willing to make improvement so that things that are considered embarrassing are not repeated. Therefore, organizations can develop a work culture that encourages employees to reflect their shame into self-improvement.
