The third section studies the time of youth and their value orientations, subcultural processes, the role of the worldview of the generation in the formation of identity and motivation of labour relations. Purpose of the dissertation research: Comprehensive study of the theory of generations, social activity of modern generations, value orientations of generation time, self-consciousness of youth through the phenomenon of continuity and creation, peculiarities of generations in labour relations. Socio-philosophical analysis of generation time in the context of Kazakhstan society. Objectives of the study: To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: 1. Differentiation of the theory of generations in theoretical, methodological directions of socio-philosophical knowledge and development of the model of generations. 2. Determination of the social image of the modern generation, determination of their value features. 3. To consider the problem of generation time on the basis of philosophical theories, to determine the types of generation time, classification criteria. 4. To study the theory of succession of generations, the influence of social processes in generational identity. 5. To analyse the philosophical essence of the phenomenon of generational creation and differentiation of its value features in society. 6. Synthesis of the problem of generations, principles of thinking in the Muslim-Turkic space on the criterion of perfection, education of generations. 7. Allocation and value analysis of generational consciousness of youth, generation trends. 8. Study of generational features in labour relations on the basis of labour motivation, labour satisfaction, philosophical understanding of the essence of labour. Research methods: Theoretical methods: analysis of the content of literature, textbooks, research articles on the topic of research, consideration of the content of philosophical primary sources, examination of the conceptual terminological apparatus of the study of generational time. The thesis work used the methods of hermeneutic analysis of philosophical works, conceptual analysis of categories and comparativist comparative analysis in order to determine the time of generations. The time and succession of generations, changes in the social behaviour of young people as a social group are analysed in an axiologically meaningful way. Main points (proven scientific hypotheses and other conclusions that constitute new knowledge): 1. Generation model is created on the basis of differentiation of views and concepts of philosophers, foreign and domestic theorists studying the field of generation theory. Generational model is an empirical and transcendental social structure including periodic transformation of historical consciousness and memory on the basis of cohort set of people, life period, temporal frequency, change of social relations through theoretical and practical knowledge, adaptation to social and cultural values. 2. On the basis of the study of socio-philosophical directions of the theory of generations, the socio-value image of modern generations is defined. Modern generations are defined as a social individual who can simultaneously construct social and virtual worlds on the basis of empirical knowledge and spiritual values. 3. The value space of a person in times of generation is defined on the basis of the actualisation of the consciousness of this generation. In the theoretical foundations of the history of philosophy and modern ideas, human perception of time, worldview in time, and being are synthesised on the basis of historical, social, intellectual, existential and intersubjective reasoning. 4. Generational continuity in today's global world is subject to cultural, social and economic transformations in the relationship between older and newer generations. Succession and generational change have an internal dialectical contradiction. According to the law of generational continuity, state identity can transition into social, cultural and religious forms of identity under effective conditions after the successful passage of ethnic identity. 5. A review of philosophical views on the phenomenon of creation as the main criterion for the comprehensive development of society has been carried out. In intergenerational continuity, creativity in history inertially influences the development of future society. From the philosophical point of view, when the intergenerational continuity is interrupted, there are white spots in historical consciousness. 6. The perfection of generations in Muslim and Turkic cultural space, the continuity of generations, the integrity of human development was evaluated. The necessity of protection of modern Kazakh generations from the influence of religious radical ideas was determined. 7. Youth is a social group developing in the plane of modernity. The entelechy of youth in the movement was defined as a social group with the qualities of disorientation and criticism of the experiences of the older generation, rejection, search for their way, delusion. The social image of youth was characterised by enanthodromic consciousness, searching for its place in the division of labour and creative activity. This was determined on the basis of the conflict between global and local tendencies among the youth. 8. On the basis of differentiation of foreign and domestic representations of intergenerational peculiarities in labour relations, the purposeful organization of modern industrial societies' activity in the sphere of production of goods, services in the consciousness of generations of people was determined. The purpose of intergenerational peculiarities in labour relations, prevention of value conflicts in the labour environment regarding the mode of labour production. This approach is based on the models of expertise of generational styles, consumption of commodity brands in order to support the quality of HR human capital. Description of the main findings of the study: 1. It is established that the generation fulfils the functions of social idea, immune structure, interconnection of personality and mass consciousness and transmission of intelligence in social time space. The intelligence of the generation is transformed on the basis of worldview, is formed in the form of a different possibility of cognition, exchange of experience. Generational theory has a direct impact on the quality of human capital on the basis of communication efficiency in the interaction between man and society, citizen and statehood. The constant continuity of generational consciousness prevents the loss of historical consciousness and degradation of the younger generation. 2. Modern generations possess empirical knowledge and form the social image of young people on the basis of ready-made forms of experience. The means of information technology are the result of human spiritual activity and are established as a coefficient of effectiveness of the influence of the generation. Modern generations are mobile, possess the value of digital nomads, they do not limit the world by their own everyday understanding, they are free-thinking, they do not accept metaphysical judgements, they possess innovation and intelligence of networking. 3. The changing essence of time has social and mental content. Generational space and time have discrete, sacral, subjective-value, essence, discursive meaning. At present, the simultaneity of three times and three generations is established and reflects the multifarious and multiplying personality and the world. 4. The determining element in the constitution of a generation, as well as in the formation and functioning of the mechanism of continuity between generations, is the socio-cultural factor. During the crisis of collective identity in societies, value conflicts between generational cohorts arise. The consequences of such a conflict have a negative impact on the perception of the semantics of statehood, there is an alienation of the individual. 5. The phenomenon of creation is formed as a character of resistance to the results of interrupted experiences and collective memories in the succession of generations. Creation was defined as a symbol of the aspiration of generations to freedom, the direction of historical actions of people who felt the spirit of the era. 6. To reduce the impact of extremist and undermining actions on the consciousness of the generation, young people should be comprehensively inculcated with the values of science and education. The need to protect the spiritual, intellectual and moral values of human beings by establishing a rational way of thinking is synthesised. 7. Human equality, inclusiveness, green ecology, digital economy, mastering foreign languages, entrepreneurship, creativity and critical thinking values are relevant to global youth trends. The social image of Kazakhstani youth is characterised by the values of financial independence, freedom, interest in power, and the growth of religious faith due to unemployment. This contradiction is characterised by the aspiration of Kazakhstani youth to work abroad. 8. The principles of rethinking labour motivation of the older and younger generation, support of labour creative activity, prevention of socio-psychological fatigue from work, provision of freedom, satisfaction with work as an object of economic philosophical thinking, generational comprehension of the essence of labour have been studied. The novelty of the obtained results and the content of the justification: The philosophical schools of the theory of generations, the value analysis of generational time, the philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of continuity and the creative role of generations, as well as an attempt to comprehensively study the generational consciousness of young people, generational characteristics in labour relations are explained. In the course of realising the goals and objectives set for us in the thesis, the following results were achieved: 1. The model of generation was developed on the basis of the study of theoretical foundations of socio-philosophical knowledge of the theory of generation. 2. The social image of modern generations has been determined. 3. A synthesis of generation time values has been made. The historical, social, intellectual, existential aspects of generation time were singled out. 4. The directions of development of the theory of succession of generations in the historical consciousness of society are differentiated and the ethnic, religious and political bases of generational identity are studied. 5. The phenomenon of creation, functions of generational consciousness in national identity and social experience are considered. 6. Distinguished the values of generational perfection in Muslim and Turkic thinking. The principles of Muslim wisdom and Kazakh philosophical thought of generation upbringing in the cultural space were synthesised. 7. The tendencies of the social image of youth were determined, the socio-philosophical analysis of social thinking was carried out. 8. The role of generational differences in labour relations in labour motivation, the value of employee's satisfaction with their work, understanding of the meaning of work has been studied. Correspondence of the research to the directions of science development and state programmes: The generation develops, unfolds its universum, adapts new realities, raegy to significant changes in society and culture, strives to transform the surrounding world in accordance with the ideas of cognition of virtuous. The relevance of socio-philosophical analysis of the time of generations is conditioned by the aspiration and search of modern Kazakhstan society for new values of realisation of its opportunities. These opportunities are conditioned by such values as just society, strong state, freedom and devotion of a person. These processes of value renewal stimulate the formation of new social and cultural bases of generational consciousness and search for new challenges of time, hope for the future, spiritual and moral renewal of generational relations in society. Generational intelligence, pragmatic thinking and the ability to synthesise values into the system of national code determine the ability of a person to create a diverse world through their own and national identity. The relevance of the research topic is determined in accordance with the content of the national project: "National Spiritual Modernisation", approved on 12 October 2021. Within the framework of this national project, in order to form a new generation, the values of critical thinking in the context of competitiveness, pragmatism, national identity, the triumph of knowledge, openness of consciousness, new humanitarian knowledge were developed. These values will become the criteria defining the time of the birth of the modern Kazakh society. In order to adapt the labour competences of young people to modern market relations, to develop entrepreneurial competences, there is a need for interaction between public administration bodies and state actors and the creation of a common space. Therefore, the time of generation has been determined and the national project "Generational Contract" is being implemented to comprehensively address the problems of young people. In accordance with subparagraph 4 of Article 3 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On State Youth Policy" the continuity of generations, the priority of family upbringing are defined as the main direction of youth policy. This increases the relevance of the topic of the dissertation work in the direction of the continuity of generations. The time of generations is not only the values of youth. It is designed to protect the needs of the older generation. The relevance of the topic stems from the need for social relations between the older and younger generation for the correct solution and understanding of social, spiritual problems of man. Generation is a phenomenon of social culture. The more developed social communications are, the more vivid and pronounced are the processes of generational differentiation. The phenomenon of generation is connected with the processes of cultural dynamics. The theme of the research corresponds to the priority directions of development of Kazakhstani science for 2024-2026, defined by the Higher Scientific and Technical Commission of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is designated as the fourth direction and is called "Intellectual potential of the country".
