Millennial Innovations In The Modern Workplace: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The millennial generation's role in the modern era has brought new expectations and preferences for workplace innovation. Understanding the factors that drive innovation among millennials has become crucial for organizations to enhance their competitiveness and adapt to the constantly changing market demands. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the key factors that drive innovation in the workplace among millennials. This review is essential to provide insights for organizations on effective ways to support innovation among the millennial generation, which currently dominates the workforce. The research findings are expected to help organizations design strategies and practices that align with millennial preferences to enhance creativity and productivity. The SLR method looked at 31 relevant articles and found six main factors that motivate millennials to innovate at work: an open and welcoming culture, an entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial spirit, flexible work arrangements, the ability to work from home, the use of advanced digital tools, and performance review systems that are based on results. Based on these findings, organizations are encouraged to consider these aspects to support innovation among millennials and enhance their competitiveness in the dynamic business environment of the present era.
