Abstract
The social interactions, contemporary life style, changing technolgy and their economic effects have its consequence on the way organizations develop the structure, company-wide operations, retain and motivate employees. Hence, organizations need to know about the type of people they are hiring. The 'next generation', also called the 'alpha generation' will enter workforce soon and form its major part in about a decade. However, very little is known about them yet. This paper explores the various aspects of organizational behavior that this generation might institute and tries to predict the best strategies to have them in workforce effectively. In person interviews, surveys and focus group methodology are employed for qualitative and quantitative data collection. This study reveals interesting aspects about this new generation and compares it to Generation X, Y and Z. It is recommended that organizations start developing methods for the future workforce.

The 'next generation', also called the 'alpha generation' will enter workforce soon and form its major part in about a decade. However, very little is known about them yet. This paper explores the various aspects of organizational behavior that this generation might institute and tries to predict the best strategies to have them in workforce effectively. In person interviews, surveys and focus group methodology are employed for qualitative and quantitative data collection. This study reveals interesting aspects about this new generation and compares it to Generation X, Y and Z. It is recommended that organizations start developing methods for the future workforce.
