David P. Costanza, Ph.D. The George Washington University
Abstract:
Stereotypes about generations and generational differences in the workplace abound and interventions for helping organizations and managers deal with these supposed differences are increasing. Unfortunately, the research on generations is mixed at best and often fails to demonstrate support for the stereotypes or even for any generationally-based differences at all. In this presentation, David explores the current state of literature and practice surrounding generations. He will review the limitations of the generations literature, discuss some emerging trends in the study of generations, and make recommendations for both future research and organizational practices in this area.
