While millennials have been called “lazy” by many, a new report published in the Journal of Business and Psychology reveals that baby boomers do not have a greater work ethic than other generations — including Gen X and millennials.

According to Keith Zabel, who led the research study, “The finding that generational differences in the Protestant work ethic do not exist suggests that organizational initiatives aimed at changing talent management strategies and targeting them for the 'very different' millennial generation may be unwarranted and not a value added activity," says Zabel. "Human resource-related organizational interventions aimed at building 21^st-century skills should therefore not be concerned with generational differences in Protestant work ethic as part of the intervention."
