Organizational acceptance of change and the willingness to embrace it is largely dependent on employees and their experiences – generations respond to change differently, especially when change is related to information technologies. The paper aims to explore how three major generations of employees – Baby Boomers, Xers and Millennials, react to change and how their commitment to change affect satisfaction and engagement. Data (N = 202) is collected through structured questionnaire and structural equation modelling technique is used for analysis. The results reveal what major differences between generations are in place. Recommendations for managing organisational change across the three generations are provided.
