A Theoretical Analysis on Leadership Types and Generational Diversity in Entrepreneurial Organizations
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the academic literature on leadership and management, the idea that there are demonstrable generational differences in attitudes, motivation and behavior at work is so widespread as to border on the axiomatic. Thus, there are several strong assumptions about how generations operate in the workplace and, in particular, how they influence leadership processes and outcomes. Thus, the objective of this article is to explore the mutual influence between this dyad and enrich the literature in the area of leadership and multigenerational interactions at work based on a theoretical analysis of current literature on this topic. With that said, it is demonstrated that workers from different generational groups want and/or need different forms of leadership to achieve optimal performance.
