Abstract	Using a sample of 331 employed participants, this study investigated the organizational commitment and work values of the Millennials relative to Baby Boomers and Generation X, and whether a poor person-work environment fit, associated with generation-specific work values, contributes to lower organizational commitment. The Millennials had significantly lower affective commitment compared to Baby Boomers, but not Generation X; moreover, they did not differ from the older two generations on normative commitment. Generational differences in work values were observed for two of the nine work values evaluated; compared to older generations, the Millennials placed greater importance on opportunities for advancement in their career and less importance on teamwork. Despite these differences, the Millennials had a similar degree of fit with their work environment as the older generations and the Millennials' lower organizational commitment could not be explained by generation-specific work values and a poor fit with the work environment. Overall, the findings challenge the significance of a generation effect on work values, organizational commitment, and person-work environment fit.
