The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental comparative study was to examine differences within subdimensions of work ethic among Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z employees who worked in a remote setting between March 11, 2020, and May 11, 2023, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The two theories guiding this study, within the theoretical framework, were the Generational Identity Model in the workplace and the Protestant Work Ethic (PWE). The research question explored if and to what extent there are statistically significant differences that exist within subdimensions of work ethic among Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z employees who worked in a remote workplace setting during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample included 236 United States organizational Gen X, Y, and Z employees. The quantitative non-experimental study used the Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile-SF to measure the seven subdimensions of the PWE. A demographic questionnaire was used to determine generational cohorts. A Kruskal-Wallis "H" test found a statistically significant difference in morality/ethics (X[superscript 2] (2) = 8.27, p = 0.02), and a Bonferroni post hoc test showed a decrease in the Gen X mean difference - 0.33, 95% CI [-0.64, -0.02] revealing significance (p = 0.03) for delay of gratification for Gen X and Z. The other PWE five subdimensions, self-reliance (X[superscript 2] (2) = 0.59, p = 0.74), leisure (X[superscript 2] (2) = 2.44, p = 0.30), hard work (X[superscript 2] (2) = 2.21, p = 0.33), centrality of work (X[superscript 2] (2) = 3.11, p = 0.21), and wasted time (X[superscript 2] (2) = 3.02, p = 0.22) had no statistical significance across generations.
