Abstract
Twenty-first Century work life is portrayed by Hirschhorn (1997) as, new conditions of work [that] simultaneously pull us toward interdependence while pushing us toward estrangement. This is the new dialectic of the post-industrial age (p. 90). Dysfunctional families, socio-economic imbalances, and political instability caused by inapt leaders warrants to explore the impact of organizations on humanity. Great minds shape technology, innovation, research and development in these organizations. In return, big organizations drive the economy, politics, global warming, and business competition. Though many organizations invest in retention policies, employees have less loyalty, seek better compensation and work conditions. A concern for 21st Century workers is giving up individual interests and social welfare in exchange for meeting organizational demands and goals. According to Hirschhorn, postmodernism urges employees to tap into their passion for a more personalized connection to their job. Employees are choosing more fulfilling careers over job security.
