“…Rooted in sociology, generational cohort theory argues that individuals from one generation have experienced the same historical events and social conditions at key developmental stages, and that these shared experiences influence their behavior and expectations at work (Benson & Brown, 2011;Bristow et al, 2011;Schullery, 2013;Twenge et al, 2012). This conceptualization implies that generational divides created by common historical trends can differ between countries.…”

“…Generational phenomena manifest themselves in many ways and have significant effects on individual, team, and organizational performance (Joshi, Dencker, Franz, & Martocchio, 2010). A generation is defined as a group of individuals born around the same time who share specific attitudes and values that can influence their behavior and expectations at work (Benson & Brown, 2011;Bristow, Amyx, Castleberry, & Cochran, 2011;Schullery, 2013;Twenge, Freeman, & Campbell, 2012). Intergenerational learning is a generational phenomenon in the workplace that is of particular interest to human resource development.…”

“…The existence of inter-generational differences among workers has posed great challenges to managers in effectively managing their employees' motivation (Benson & Brown, 2011). Given the importance of knowledge sharing, it is not surprising that a lack of employee motivation has been identified as a major barrier to successful knowledge sharing initiatives (Chavez, 2004;Osterloh & Frey, 2000).…”

“…Nossas hipóteses, de caráter exploratório, são: H1 -Existem diferenças entre as dimensões da ST que predizem o BES quando a amostra estudada é considerada em função das gerações; e H2 -Há diferenças entre a força do efeito (R 2 ) da ST no BES quando se comparam as três gerações. Uma geração pode ser definida como um grupo de pessoas que em um determinado período de tempo compartilha hábitos e cultura, de modo que estabeleçam uma memória coletiva que as integra por um período finito de tempo (Benson & Brown, 2011). As diferenças entre gerações podem causar impactos na maneira como a personalidade, valores, crenças e expectativas se desenvolvem e tendem a ocorrer devido a influências no ambiente em que se desenvolve a socialização (Macky, Gardner, & Forsyth, 2008).…”

“…A geração X tende a ser caracterizada por indivíduos mais cínicos em relação a figuras de autoridade, individualistas e que buscam equilíbrio entre as esferas pessoal e profissional (Cheeseman & Downey, 2011). Tendencialmente não acreditam que possuam dívidas para com a organização e, portanto, costumam ser menos leais às empresas e mais propensos a mudar de organização em busca da satisfação de suas ambições profissionais (Benson & Brown, 2011). Por fim, os representantes da geração Y, ou Millennials, costumam ser mais afeitos à comunicação textual, mais participativos no ambiente de trabalho (Cheeseman & Downey, 2011), além de mais desejosos de feedback e recompensas imediatas pelo trabalho desenvolvido (Young et al, 2013).…”
