    The Effectiveness of Managing the Emerging Workforce in Organization: The Case of Wegagen Bank S.C.
    (Addis Ababa University, 2018-06) Kassahun Getachew; Gemechu Waktola
    has become an apparent phenomenon that emerging workforces are dominating the workplace of any organization; coming up with their own distinct and peculiar need, desires and characters. Company strategies for attraction and retention of these young and energetic workforces require adaption, as the ‘one-size-fits-all’ model no longer appears to be appropriate for today’s multigenerational workforce. This study examined the effectiveness of managing the emerging workforce in Wegagen Bank S.C. on selected branches located in Addis Ababa. The variables used in the study were sourced from different theoretical as well as empirical literatures and finally fine-tuned to meet the intended specific purpose. Since the research data source was primary, field survey was the method deployed. As the nature of branches differ in their volume of transaction, customer base as well as numbers of years in operation, branches were classified in to three categories. Representativeness of the sample respondents was assured by using proportionate stratified random sampling design technique thereby 202 out of 210 questionnaires were collected from the sample respondents. The questionnaires were analyzed using both descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics such as T-test, one way ANOVA and multiple linear regression with the support of SPSS version 20. Majority of the respondents were male, single, holder of a first degree, and in early stage of their career ladder. The findings based on the data analysis also revealed that the demographic variables such as gender and work experience had insignificant influence in predicting the effectiveness of managing the emerging workforces. Moreover, the regression results for the independent variables such as Nature of the work, Continuous feedback and recognition, Management style, Opportunity for learning and career advancement; Organizational culture had significantly influenced the effectiveness of managing the emerging workforce in the bank. Finally based on the results of the study concluding remarks as well as ways forward were drawn.
