Ítem Employee Involvement and Job Satisfaction: A Tale of the Millennial Generation(Universidad EAFIT, 2018-08-15) García, Gustavo A.; Gonzales-Miranda, Diego René; Gallo, Oscar; Roman-Calderón, Juan Pablo; ggarci24@eafit.edu.co; dgonzal8@eafit.edu.co; oscargallovelez@hotmail.com; jromanca@eafit.edu.coThe purpose of this paper is to empirically study the effect of employee involvement in the workplace on job satisfaction for millennial workers in Colombia. Data were obtained from a sample of 2103 millennial employees working in 11 companies of different sectors located in the five main cities of Colombia. Ordered probit models were estimated to study the effect of employee involvement on job satisfaction, in general, and how different forms of participative decision-making in the workplace produce different impacts on individual satisfaction with objective and intrinsic aspects of the job, in particular. The empirical results show that, for millennial workers, there is a positive link between employee involvement and job satisfaction. Moreover, there is a higher positive impact on job satisfaction when millennial workers participate in decisions on general aspects of the company than when they participate in specific decisions such as those concerning teamwork or main tasks at work. Another interesting result is that millennial workers attach high importance to intrinsic aspects of their jobs (such as the possibility to use their knowledge in the work), which may improve their satisfaction in a higher participative environment.Ítem Millennials and the gender wage gap: Do millennial women face a glass ceiling?(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-09-10) Garcia Cruz, Gustavo Adolfo; Gonzales Miranda, Diego René; Gallo, Oscar; Roman Calderon, Juan Pablo; Universidad EAFIT; Universidad EAFIT; Universidad EAFIT; Universidad EAFIT; ggarci24@eafit.edu.co; dgonzal8@eafit.edu.co; oscargallovelez@hotmail.com; jromanca@eafit.edu.coThis study aims to measure the gender wage gap among millennial workers in Colombia and determine if there is a marked wage difference between millennial women and men. Further, this study analyzes whether millennial women face a glass ceiling, that is, if there is a larger gender wage gap among workers earning relatively high wages. The study data included a sample of 2,144 millennial workers employed in 11 organizations located in the five main cities of Colombia. Oaxaca–Blinder econometric methods of wage decomposition were used to calculate both raw and adjusted gender wage gaps. The latter results in estimating the gender wage gap while controlling for observable characteristics related to individual, family, and labor. The results show that millennial workers in Colombia face gender inequality in the labor market and that professional millennial women experience a distinct glass ceiling. The adjusted gender wage gap is 9.5 percent, and this gap increases with education level, increasing to nearly 14 percent among college-educated workers. This paper contributes to the literature on workplace discrimination and gender wage inequality for younger workers, and it is original in reviewing the gender pay gap in Colombia using a primary dataset. Most of the work in this area has been done mainly in the developed countries and this research add to the findings which had focused on those nations.
