Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2009.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 75-76).<br>The current American workplace is made up of members of four distinct generations: "Veterans" (born between 1922-1943), "Boomers" (born between 1943-1960), "Generation X" (born between 1960 - 1980), and "Generation Y" (born between 1980 and 2000). Members of each generation bring to the workplace very distinct assumptions regarding technology, expertise, and rewards. This thesis explores the nature of differences in assumptions across all four generations. It takes the two most relevant to the current work environment, Boomers and Generation Y, and analyzes how their different approaches to technology, expertise and rewards cause conflict in the workplace. After conducting a literature review on conflict and change management at work, I propose a process for preventing and mitigating generational conflict at work.<br>by Ernesto Vazquez.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
Four generations of workers share the workforce for the first time in history. Business leaders' failure to address generational conflict may lead to low productivity, high turnover rates, employee frustration, and reduced profits. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of business leaders, managers, and supervisors in leading a multigenerational workforce within their companies. The conceptual framework was based on McClelland's theory, identifying key motivators that drive characteristics of people, including affiliation. A purposive sample of 20 local employees, spanning 4 generations from the retail grocery industry in Hampton Roads, Virginia, were interviewed to explore general characteristics, attitudes, values, and behaviors at work. Transcribed interview data were divided into categories to find shared phenomenon and identify themes based on the participants' perceptions. The findings were categorized and coded, patterns were established, and themes were generated to answer the central research question. Trustworthiness of the interpretations was achieved through member checking. The findings from this study revealed that the employees perceived that business leaders, managers, and supervisors lacked sufficient knowledge to successfully communicate with their employees or peers from different generations in the workplace. The employees perceived that those communication failures and lack of interaction between the different generations generated conflict. The implications for positive social change include the potential to bridge the gap between younger and older workers and minimize conflict resulting from miscommunication among the different age groups.

Full textAbstract:
A two-sector OLG model illuminates the intergenerational effects of a tax that protects an environmental stock. A traded asset capitalizes the economic returns to future tax-induced environmental improvements, benefiting the current asset owners, the old generation.
Absent a transfer, the tax harms the young generation by decreasing their real wage. Future generations benefit from the tax-induced improvement in environmental stock. The principal intergenerational conflict arising from the tax is between generations alive at the time society imposes the policy, not between generations alive at different
times. A Pareto-improving tax can be implemented under various political economy settings. (authors' abstract)

Previous issue date: 2018-03-05<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES#<br>#2075167498588264571#<br>#600<br>The increase of human aging is a phenomenon observed in world scale and allows the experience of several roles within the family. Nowadays grandparents can see their grandchildren growing up and having children, become great-grandparents, and thus add another generation in the network of relationships. Consequently, more and more multigenerational families are emerging, formed by four or even five generations, and therefore more vertically. Thus, the objective of this research was to understand the role of great-grandparents, as well as the intergenerational repercussions of this role in their lives and that of their relatives. More specifically it was intended: to analyze the meaning of being great-grandparents in the family, from the perspective of each generation; identify the activities performed by their great-grandparents; identify the legacy that the great-grandparents wish to convey; characterize the needs and feelings experienced by the great-grandparents and their families; understand intergenerational relations permeated by the presence of great-grandparents among family members. It is a multiple case study with four families consisting of four generations and one family with five generations, thus totaling twenty-two participants. Three great-grandmothers, two great-grandfathers, and a great-great-grandmother. As for the other generations, five children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandmother were interviewed. As a research instrument, a semi-directed interview was used, with a specific script for each generation, as well as a questionnaire with the sociodemographic data of the participants. The data were analyzed through thematic content analysis. The main results pointed out the following: 1) As for the feelings experienced when becoming great-grandparents, they reported joy, satisfaction and gratitude; 2) The support provided by them, most of the time, is of the emotional type; 3) The family relationship appeared as quite significant, being characterized especially in the form of visits; 4) Conflicts exist, but seem to be circumvented with wisdom and much respect; 5) The legacies transmitted by them are related to faith, solidarity, education and order; 6) The meaning of being great-grandmother is intimately linked to the feeling of transcendence, the sense of having fulfilled the purpose of life and also its continuity in grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In other generations, the appreciation of the great-grandparents, perceived as wise people, has been observed and can contribute as teachers to the new generations. It is hoped to give visibility to this generation still little studied in our country.<br>O aumento do envelhecimento humano é um fenômeno observado em escala mundial e possibilita a vivência de vários papéis dentro da família. Atualmente os avós podem ver seus netos crescerem e terem filhos, tornando-se bisavós, e, assim, adiciona-se outra geração na rede de relações. Consequentemente, emergem cada vez mais famílias multigeracionais formadas por quatro ou até cinco gerações, portanto, mais verticalizadas. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender o papel dos bisavós e as repercussões das relações estabelecidas com as diferentes gerações da família em sua vida, bem como na dos seus familiares. Especificamente buscou-se identificar as atividades desempenhadas pelos bisavós com cada geração; caracterizar as necessidades e sentimentos experimentados pelos bisavós e seus familiares no tocante às relações intergeracionais; compreender as relações intergeracionais perpassadas pela presença dos bisavós pelos membros das gerações subsequentes; identificar o legado que os bisavós deixam aos filhos, netos e bisnetos na perspectiva de cada geração; analisar o significado de ser (e ter) bisavós na família, na perspectiva de cada um dos bisavós, filhos, netos e bisnetos. Trata-se de um estudo de casos múltiplos com quatro famílias constituídas por quatro gerações e uma família com cinco gerações totalizando, assim, vinte e dois participantes, que foram acessados através de pessoas conhecidas da pesquisadora. Participaram três bisavós, dois bisavôs e uma tataravó na faixa etária de 74 a 97 anos. Quanto às demais gerações foram entrevistados cinco filhos, netos, bisnetos e um tataraneto. Como instrumento de pesquisa foi utilizada uma entrevista semidirigida, com um roteiro específico para cada geração, além de um questionário com os dados sociodemográficos dos participantes, elaborados pela pesquisadora. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo temática. Os principais resultados apontaram o seguinte: 1) Quanto aos sentimentos experimentados ao se tornar bisavós, eles relataram alegria, satisfação e gratidão; 2) O apoio fornecido por eles, na maioria das vezes, é do tipo emocional; 3) O relacionamento familiar apareceu como significativo, sendo mantido especialmente sob forma de visitas; 4) Os conflitos existem, mas parecem ser contornados com sabedoria e muito respeito; 5) Os legados transmitidos por eles estão relacionados à fé, solidariedade, educação e ordem; 6) O significado de ser bisavó está intimamente ligado ao sentimento de transcendência, ao sentido de ter cumprido o propósito da vida e também sua continuidade nos netos e bisnetos. Observou-se nas demais gerações a valorização dos bisavós, percebidos como pessoas sábias, que podem contribuir como professores para as novas gerações. Espera-se dar visibilidade a essa geração ainda pouco estudada em nosso país.

Full textAbstract:
The following work is divided in two sections. In the review section, we analyse "La riviere sans repos", a collection of stories by Gabrielle Roy, published in 1970. This analysis explains the impact of the break-up of the social fabric of esquimo traditions on intergenerational interactions among families.<br>For quite some time, the arrival of white culture within the traditional esquimo civilization did not include the brutal and accelerated rhythm, as it has since World War II. Nevertheless, at the time where Roy sets the events in her book, between 1945 and 1968, one can definitely speak of culture shock. Hence, we would like to understand how the esquimo characters in the book react to this brutal culture change, as they are forced to question their identity along with their traditional values. In addition, we explain how these excessively rapid changes influence the interactions between four different generations.<br>The second section of this work, the creative section, is linked to the first by the coming together of members of a single family. " Jamais tu ne m'avais dit", a collection of short stories, includes individuals of different generations (for example, a parent and his child, a grandmother and her granddaughter), who are forced to truly communicate with one another, following an event or a recent discovery.

Full textAbstract:
Em uma sociedade complexa do ponto de vista econômico e cultural como a nossa, mediada por fatores como classe social, gênero, etnia, meio urbano ou rural, o relacionamento entre as gerações assume diferentes formas dentro e fora da família. Há, sem dúvida, importantes esquemas de cooperação intergeracional no seio familiar e em outros espaços sociais. Todavia, distanciamento, estranhamento, preconceitos recíprocos ou até mesmo conflitos, são frequentes entre pais e filhos, avós e netos e, de modo geral, entre jovens e velhos em várias situações do cotidiano. Neste estudo analisamos o relacionamento entre diferentes gerações no exercício compartilhado de atividades culturais e de lazer em uma instituição social: o SESC São Paulo. A idéia surgiu da necessidade de avaliação da eficácia de um programa de atividades intergeracionais que tem por meta a co-educação e o desenvolvimento da solidariedade entre gerações. Esta pesquisa procurou demonstrar, baseada em entrevistas com crianças, jovens e idosos envolvidos em atividades intergeracionais, e das observações dessas interações, que programas de caráter lúdico podem se constituir como um dos caminhos para a superação de conflitos entre gerações, ao promoverem a formação de amizades entre velhos e moços e o desenvolvimento de uma cultura intergeracional solidária<br>In an economically and culturally complex society such as ours, permeated by factors such as social class, gender, ethnicity, urban/rural environment, the relationship between generations takes different forms within and outside the family. There are undoubtedly important mechanisms of intergenerational cooperation within the family and within other social spaces. However, detachment, estrangement, mutual prejudices, or even conflicts are frequent between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren and generally between young and elderly people in many everyday situations. The idea behind this study was to analyze the relationship between different generations of people sharing cultural and leisure activities side by side in a social institution: the SESC São Paulo. This idea arose from the need to evaluate the effectiveness of an intergenerational activity program that aims to promote co-education and develop solidarity between generations. Based on interviews with children, young people and elderly people who were involved in intergenerational activities, as well as on observations of their interactions, this research sought to demonstrate that programs of a ludic nature can be one of the ways to overcome conflicts between generations, since they foster friendships between elderly people and young people and promote a culture of intergenerational solidarity

Full textAbstract:
Workplace bullying has become increasingly prevalent in the workplace, and as such has led to instances of job dissatisfaction, and in extreme cases, workplace violence. It is important to understand workplace bullying as an organization, a manager, and particularly in the role of human resources in order to best address such situations. Current studies have evaluated the effects of workplace bullying, along with possible suggested causes – however with the vast differences in the four generations now working together in the workplace – this is an area that also needs to be addressed as the problem of workplace bullying continues to grow. The quantitative study of workplace bullying and the effect of multiple generations will be conducted using a survey, where respondents can disclose their experiences with workplace bullying anonymously. The data will be collected and analyzed using SPSS to determine any correlations between different generations and bullying in the workplace. Current theories such as social exchange theory (SET), social cognitive theory (SCT) and affective events theory (AET) will be used to support the current research. Upon reviewing the results of the study, the conclusions that can be made will help provide further research in the field, for both human resource professionals and organizations.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, succession has become a major theme in family business research. Much of the research effort has concentrated on the managerial dimension of succession, often subordinating the importance of other major variables such as family relationship dynamics and the form of business ownership on the succession outcome. Family enterprises are generally conceptualised as a dynamic, evolving systems in which the actions and interactions taking place amongst constituent groups determine the system's outputs. This study aimed to overcome the limitations of examining only one dimension of a system's activities by carrying out a longitudinal holistic analysis of the evolution of the family enterprise system as it went through the process of generational transition. The research for this thesis employed the multiple case study method to investigate the influence of emotional and developmental factors on the ability of business-owning families to make progress with the tasks required to complete a generational transition. Three specific issues were examined: the nature of the task environment facing the family enterprise system over the duration of the transition period; the approaches used by families to address the tasks required for them to move through the stages making up the transition process; and the extent to which emotional and developmental factors prevented or promoted progress being made with the generational transition. The results reveal that families face the same sequence of stages in the generational transition process. However, they differ in their ability to move through these stages, towards closure of the transition period and the achievement of a succession outcome, Importantly, the degree to which individuals and families are able to make progress is related to their ability to manage the anxiety generated during the transition process. Anxiety is created when the structures or network of interrelationships that hold their family enterprise system intact are evaluated and may be dismantled and reconstructed differently for the next stage in the system's development. The study supports the view that anxiety is generated during transition times when developmental pressures for change build up from changes taking place in the life-cycles underway within the family enterprise system. It also supports the view that developmental pressure (such as a crisis) from the business subsystem alone does not lead to transition task activity and progress. Progress in response to business sub-system pressure comes about when the opportunity exists to solve an ongoing adult development problem by implementing a solution to a transition task problem. The ability to manage anxiety was found to be related to both the quality of emotional functioning in the family and the extent to which the adult development agendas of both generations are in alignment. Favourable alignment brought a developmental opportunity for the individuals concerned. It allowed them to do the exploratory work required in order to assess the extent to which the family business could provide part of their life structure for the next phase of their development. However, in addition to adult development generational alignment, the study confirmed that the quality of emotional functioning in the family (their ability to overcome multigenerational patterns of functioning and behaviour) influenced the family's ability to make progress with ownership transfer and other tasks. The study concludes that emotional and developmental influences are mediating factors between the forces for change originating in the family enterprise system and its environment and the ability of those in the system to respond to the need for change and manage the transition process. It also found that families significantly underestimate the nature and complexity of the work involved in the transition process, as well as the timescale and emotional commitment required to complete the transition.

The purpose of this study was to contribute to a base of information about adult offspring who reside in the parental home, with particular emphasis on intergenerational relationships. The variables investigated included intimacy with parents, individuation from family of origin, triangulation, intimidation, and personal authority. These were selected to provide a theoretical basis for an understanding of the relational dynamics within the parent-adult child household and of differentiation of the adult offspring in the study.
Sixty-six adults living in their parents' homes participated in the study. Each completed five subscales from the Personal Authority in the Family System Questionnaire(PAFS-Q) and a demographic questionnaire.
Demographic results indicated that moving home after a separation or divorce was not prevalent, even to receive assistance with child care. A greater proportion of females than males lived at home during the ages of 22-29, with proportions of females growing smaller until the ages of 40- 45, when the ratio became 50-50. Fewer than half of the respondents paid for rent and household expenses regularly, even with over 80% employed full time and over 68% earning $10,000.00 or more annually.
Multivariate analyses revealed that these adult children reported significant degrees of intimacy and personal authority under conditions of satisfaction with the living arrangement, as well as significant levels of fusion in conjunction with both satisfaction and age being over forty. Intimidation was significantly less with those who have resided at home two to seven years, and greater with those who have lived in the home only one year.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The title of The Edifice Complex presents two metaphors which combine to form the focus of this study's research. The first of these refers to the Oedipus Complex of Freudian psychology: metaphorically, Marine recruits fall in love with the folklore of the Marine Corps they wish to join, yet unwittingly change that Corps over time, thus figuratively killing the older generations of Marines--their forefathers in uniform. In the second metaphor, the edifice is the structure of informal folklore and recorded history; the complex is the rites of passage or maze traversed in time by Marines. As Marines are indoctrinated in the Marine Corps' culture, they internalize the meanings of the edifice's building blocks: its symbols, rituals and myths. Bit by bit, generations of Marines individually and collectively alter the shape of the metaphorical maze and change the meanings of some elements of folklore. The purpose of the study was to analyze the causes and effects of cultural change affecting Marines and the Marine Corps from the mid-1950s to the mid1980s. Using ethnographic field methods and content analysis, the researcher investigated internal and external planned and unplanned changes in the Marine Corps. Cultural data was collected during 1984 and 1985 from print, motion picture and other media, and through interviews with Marine infantrymen, recruiters, journalists, drill instructors, historians, musicians and others, in several cultural settings. The study focused on the cultural reality of primarily male, enlisted Marines. Findings support the working hypothesis that folklore is a behavior-shaping tool which the Marine Corps effectively uses to control the behavior of Marines. Findings reveal that cultural changes have allowed or caused some Marines to value the Marine Corps materially as a source of valuable competencies and material rewards rather than professionally or patriotically as the calling of the profession of arms. Conclusions of The Edifice Complex parallel conclusions in organizational change theory, in that changes in the symbolic realm of the organization's culture are most difficult to change but have significant impact upon members of the organization. Findings and conclusions are also mutually supported in the educational, social and behavioral psychologies.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: People's life experiences and backgrounds shape who they are - whether they are
young or old, male or female, and across all races, ethnicities and religions. Today's
workplace environment represents the largest diversity of generations of any time in
history, and with this diversity comes new challenges. These challenges are directly
due to the different generations and associated gaps based on different approaches,
expectations and perceptions regarding culture and leadership in the workplace.
There are generally four different generations employed in today's workplace:
Traditionalists (Builders), Baby Boomers (Yuppies), Generation X (Yiffies), and
Generation Y (Millennials). According to generation theory, Traditionalists were born
between 1930 and 1949, Baby Boomers between 1950 and 1969, Generation X
between 1970 and 1989, and Generation Yafter 1990. Although there are very few
Traditionalists in contemporary workplaces, there are still some left to consider. More
important than understanding the Traditionalists, though, is the need for a better
understanding of the fast-growing group of Generation Y employees who are
entering the workforce.
At Sishen Iron Ore Mine (Sishen) there are also four generations employed, each
with different approaches, expectations, perceptions, attitudes, loyalties, frames of
reference, views of authority, job strengths, work ethics, relationships, work/life
balances and other beliefs.
The question that arises is whether the management team of the Engineering
Department at Sishen can be more effective and productive through an improved and
in-depth understanding of each generation's approaches, expectations and
perceptions regarding culture and leadership.
The purpose of this research study is to analyse the specific correlation of the
different workforce generations in the Engineering Department with the general
theoretical knowledge available about each generation by focusing more specifically
on approaches, expectations and perceptions. The study also includes some recent
research information regarding Generation Y and the related opportunities,
challenges and effective ways of managing this generation.
By focusing on the research results within the multigenerational workforce and the
generation gaps, the possible solutions for managing conflict can improve through a
better understanding of each generation. Each generation's typical characteristics
are discussed in detail by means of a thorough literature study, with the overall aim of
enhancing both team and organisational success.
The employees and permanent contractors at the Engineering Department number
approximately 1 945. The randomly selected participants in the generations survey
were from the pool of permanent employees, excluding the contractors. The
information was collected by means of a short questionnaire representing the typical
characteristics of each generation. A sample of 250 participants from eight different
sections within the department was asked to complete the questionnaire, but
unfortunately a response rate of only 34% (85 questionnaires) was recorded.
The research showed that the typical characteristics of the Traditionalists and Baby
Boomers could be used to represent almost the entire Engineering Department. It
also revealed specific influences in the working and social environment, leadership
styles, and the mine's culture that affect the different generations regarding their
approaches, expectations and perceptions.
The report concludes with an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the
study, as well as a few key findings and a summary, conclusion, and
recommendations.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alle mense word gevorm deur lewensondervindings en agtergrond wat bepaal wie
hulle is - ongeag of hulle oud of jonk, manlik of vroulik is, asook oor alle rasse,
etniese groepe en geloofsoortuigings heen. Hedendaagse werksomgewings word
gekenmerk deur die grootste generasiediversiteit van alle tye, wat nuwe uitdagings
meebring. Die uitdagings is die direkte gevolg van die verskillende generasies en
gepaardgaande gapings gebaseer op verskillende benaderings, verwagtinge en
persepsies aangaande kultuur en leierskap in die werksplek.
Daar is tans oor die algemeen vier verskillende generasies in diens in werksplekke,
naamlik Tradisionaliste, Baby Boomers, Generasie X en Generasie Y. Volgens
generasieteorie is Tradisionaliste persone gebore tussen 1930 en 1949, terwyl Baby
Boomers tussen 1950 en 1969, Generasie X tussen 1970 en 1989 en Generasie Y
na 1990 gebore is. Hoewel daar min Tradisionaliste in die werksplek oor is, is daar
nog enkeles wat in ag geneem moet word. Van groter belang is egter die behoefte
om die vinnig groeiende Generasie Y wat nou tot die werksmag toetree, beter te
verstaan.
By Sishen Ysterertsmyn (Sishen) is daar ook vier verskillende generasies in diens,
elk met verskillende benaderings, verwagtinge, persepsies, houdings, lojaliteite,
verwysingsraamwerke, menings oor gesag, werksverwante sterkpunte, werk-etiek,
verhoudings, lewensbalanse asook ander oortuigings.
Die vraag wat ontstaan, is of die bestuurspan van die Ingenieurswese Departement
by Sishenmyn meer effektief en produktief kan wees deur hul kennis en begrip van
elke generasie se benaderings, verwagtinge en persepsies ten opsigte van kultuur
en leierskap te verbeter.
Die doel van die studie is om te ontleed of daar 'n spesifieke ooreenstemming is
tussen die verskillende generasies by die Ingenieurswese Departement en die
algemene teoretiese inligting beskikbaar oor elke generasie deur meer spesifiek op
benaderings, verwagtinge en persepsies te fokus. Die studie sluit ook onlangse
navorsingsinligting aangaande Generasie Y in, met die gepaardgaande geleenthede,
uitdagings en effektiewe maniere om die generasie te bestuur.
Deur te fokus op die navorsingsresultate binne die multigenerasie-werksmag en die
ooreenstemmende gapings, kan daar moontlik oplossings ontstaan om te help met
konflikbestuur wat op 'n beter begrip van die generasies gegrond is. Elke generasie
se tipiese eienskappe word in diepte bespreek deur middel van 'n deeglike
literatuurstudie, met die oorhoofse doel om span- sowel as organisasiesukses te
verhoog.
Die totale aantal werknemers, insluitend permanente kontrakteurs, van die
Ingenieurswese Departement is ongeveer 1 945. Die deelnemers aan die generasieopname
is lukraak gekies, maar die kontrakteurs is uitgesluit. Die inligting is
ingesamel met behulp van 'n kort vraelys wat die tipiese eienskappe van elke
generasie verteenwoordig. Uit 'n steekproef van 250 deelnemers uit agt verskillende
seksies binne die departement wat gevra is om die vraelys te voltooi, is 'n betreklik
swak responskoers van 34% (85 vraelyste) behaal.
Die navorsing het bevind dat die tipiese eienskappe van die Tradisionaliste en Baby
Boomers tans gebruik kan word om feitlik die hele department te verteenwoordig. Dit
toon verder ook dat daar spesifieke invloede in die werks- en sosiale omgewing,
leierskapstyle en die myn se kultuur is wat die verskillende generasies se
denkpatrone rondom benaderings, verwagtinge en persepsies vorm.
Die navorsingsverslag word afgesluit met 'n bepaling van die sterk- en swakpunte
van die studie, 'n paar kernbevindings en 'n opsomming, gevolgtrekking en
aanbevelings.

Full textAbstract:
The multigenerational workforce presents a critical challenge for business managers, and each generation has different expectations. A human resource management study of organizations with more than 500 employees reported 58% of the managers experiencing conflict between younger and older workers. The purpose of this single case study was to explore the multigenerational strategies used by 3 managers from a Franklin County, Ohio manufacturing facility with a population size of 6 participants. The conceptual framework for this study was built upon generational theory and cohort group theory. The data were collected through face-to-face semistructured interviews, company documents, and a reflexive journal. Member checking was completed to strengthen the credibility and trustworthiness of the interpretation of participants' responses. A modified van Kaam method enabled separation of themes following the coding of data. Four themes emerged from the data: (a) required multigenerational managerial skills, (b) generational cohort differences, (c) most effective multigenerational management strategies, and (d) least effective multigenerational management strategies. Findings from this study may contribute to social change through better understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of the primary generations in the workforce, and, in turn, improve community relationships.

Previous issue date: 2018-01-05<br>The increase of human longevity is bringing a greater possibility of coexistence between the generations of the same family. Often, due to several factors that will be presented throughout this dissertation, the number of children who return to their paternal home has also increased, bringing their own children, a phenomenon known as recohabitation. With the growth of these multigenerational households, many seniors are the heads of the family and support their children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. This type of family arrangement can both be a source of support and mutual help, as well as of conflicts and tensions. In this context, the present study had as general objective to understand how the elderly, who are grandmothers and reside in multigenerational households, from the recohabitation by the children, experience and perceive this situation. This is a qualitative research involving nine elderly women living in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão/PE. These participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The interview was recorded, transcribed and later analyzed according to the thematic content analysis technique. The results showed that: 1) the main reason that mobilized the recohabitation was the separation/divorce of the children; 2) the majority of the elderly women had a feeling of satisfaction and conformity with the recohabitation, due to the idea that the mother should always welcome her children and grandchildren at home; 3) the return of the children and grandchildren to the maternal home caused changes both in the physical structure of the house and in the daily life of the elderly, with the addition of domestic tasks and commitments in the care of the grandchildren; 4) most of the participants considered themselves the person who establishes the norms of home functioning; 5) co-residence is not a guarantee of a friendly relationship between the generations; 6) the greatest difficulties cited were the differences regarding the education of the grandchildren, the increase of domestic responsibilities and the rebellion of the grandchildren; 7) the elderly indicated the company of their children and grandchildren as the main benefit of recohabitation; 8) expectations for themselves involve being healthy and willing to work, while for the children they have expressed a desire to remarry and for the grandchildren to continue their studies; 9) the recohabitation reflected the preference of some elderly women, due to the satisfaction of being closer to their children and grandchildren, in other cases it was perceived that it was a lack of choice, due to the feeling of "maternal obligation" to receive their children. Thus, the results highlight the need to cultivate affection bonds that support conflict resolution in this type of family arrangement, as well as strengthen intergenerational relationships.<br>O aumento da longevidade humana está acarretando a maior possibilidade de convivência entre as gerações de uma mesma família. Muitas vezes, devido a diversos fatores que serão apresentados ao longo desta dissertação, tem aumentado também o número de filhos que voltam a morar no lar paterno, trazendo seus próprios filhos, fenômeno denominado recoabitação. Com o crescimento desses lares multigeracionais, muitos idosos são os chefes da família e sustentam seus filhos, netos e até bisnetos. Este tipo de arranjo tanto pode ser fonte de apoio e ajuda mútua, como de conflitos e tensões. Neste contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral compreender como idosas, que são avós e residem em lares multigeracionais, a partir da recoabitação por parte dos filhos, vivenciam e percebem essa situação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa da qual participaram nove idosas residentes no município de Vitória de Santo Antão/PE. Essas participantes responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico e a uma entrevista semiestruturada. A entrevista foi gravada, transcrita e, posteriormente, analisada segundo a técnica de análise de conteúdo temática. Os resultados apontaram que: 1) o principal motivo que mobilizou a recoabitação foi a separação/divórcio dos filhos; 2) a maioria das idosas nutria um sentimento de satisfação e conformidade com a recoabitação, devido à ideia de que a mãe deve sempre acolher seus filhos e netos; 3) a volta dos filhos e netos à casa materna ocasionou mudanças tanto na estrutura física da casa, como no dia a dia das idosas, com o acréscimo de afazeres domésticos e de compromissos no cuidado dos netos; 4) grande parte das participantes se considerou a pessoa que estabelece as normas de funcionamento do lar; 5) a corresidência não é garantia de uma relação amistosa entre as gerações; 6) as maiores dificuldades citadas foram as divergências no que se refere à educação dos netos, ao aumento de responsabilidades domésticas e à rebeldia dos netos; 7) as idosas indicaram a companhia dos filhos e netos como o principal benefício da recoabitação; 8) as expectativas em relação a si mesmas envolvem ter saúde e disposição para trabalhar, enquanto para os filhos apresentaram o desejo de que eles se casem novamente e que os netos continuem os estudos; 9) a recoabitação refletiu a preferência de algumas idosas, devido à satisfação de estar mais próxima dos seus filhos e netos, já em outros casos percebeu-se que a corresidência foi uma falta de opção, diante do sentimento de “obrigação materna” de acolher seu filho. Desse modo, os resultados evidenciam a necessidade de se cultivar laços de afetividade que deem suporte para a solução de conflitos nesse tipo de arranjo familiar, bem como fortaleçam as relações intergeracionais.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a qualitative study aimed at better capturing the complexity of conflict in family businesses. An inductive content analysis revealed two important issues: the dynamics of intergenerational conflicts and the escalation process of conflicts. The results demonstrated that conflicts are more likely to be intergenerational than intra-generational due to the role of senior members in daily business operations, generational differences, and a perception gap that exist between generations concerning each other’s competencies in doing the business. Furthermore, the set of factors contributing to conflict escalation is related to how family members handle the conflict, how they manage their emotions, and how they are able to avoid non-family employee involvement. These findings provide a foundation for taking preventative actions, implementing strategies for managing conflicts or devising effective solutions for resolving conflicts before they become more destructive.

Ten Jewish second-generation men and women from metro Portland, Oregon were interviewed regarding growing up in the aftermath of the Holocaust. The American-born participants ranged in age from fifty-one to sixty-four years of age at the time of the interviews. Though the parents were deceased at the time of this study the working definition of a Holocaust survivor parent included those individuals who had been refugees or interned in a ghetto, labor camp, concentration camp, or extermination camp as a direct result of the Nazi Regime in Europe from 1933 to 1945.
A descriptive phenomenological approach was utilized. Eight open-ended questions yielded ten unique perspectives. Most second-generation do not habitually inform others of their second-generation status. This is significant to conflict resolution as the effects of the Holocaust are trans-generational. The second-generation embody resilience and their combined emphasis was for all people to become as educated as possible.

During the last years, diversity has been a hot topic for both researchers and professionals. In global markets with an increased competition, appropriate management of diversity within an organization might be highly relevant for the success of a company. One kind of diversity is the differences in ages of an organization’s workforce. Today, up to four different generations, each with different characteristics, attitudes, and peculiarities, work together at the workplace. To ensure fruitful, productive, and effective collaboration, cooperation, and cohabitation, leaders are often responsible to manage intergenerational encounters and to delegate tasks in an appropriate way. In fact, leaders and subordinates of different ages and generations have always had to collaborate in organizations. However, especially in today’s times of rising market pressure, increasing complexity and with various increased demands on organizations, a deeper understanding of how leaders might be able to effectively lead their followers and subordinates is of a high value for themselves and organizations.The purpose of this Thesis is it to examine how leaders should behave in intergenerational encounters, i.e. how they should act and communicate to their followers and subordinates of different ages in a way that makes sense to the latter.Within this Thesis, the methodological approach of Grounded Theory is applied. For this purpose, a qualitative research was conducted in which qualitative data was gathered through an examination of the existing literature about leadership, diversity in organizations, and generations. Additionally, eight interviews with leaders, coaches, and professionals from human resource development departments in organizations were conducted. By analyzing those interviews and combining the findings with data from the existing literature, a concept of A Leader’s Generational Intelligence emerged. This concept is composed of the categories Appropriate Behavior Regarding Other Generations, Open Mental Attitude, and Knowledge and Experience. It is assumed that if leaders possess these three elements, they might be able to perform more effectively in intergenerational encounters and might succeed in their attempts to make sense regarding their followers of different ages.The findings of this Thesis may contribute to the discussion about how to appropriately and effectively manage diversity, especially when it comes to generational diversity. For this reason, the outcome of this Thesis might be valuable for future research but also for leaders and professionals.

This study examined the factors related to intergenerational conflict as perceived by immigrant and non-immigrant adolescents. The study replicated the work of Doreen Rosenthal (1989) using a modified version of the questionaire she administered to adolescents in Melbourne, Australia. This study was administered to 300 grade eleven students in two Vancouver high schools. The data was analysed to determine the effect of the following factors on intergenerational conflict: immigrant status, bicultural adaptation, gender, ethnicity, age at time of immigration, presence or absence of a common complex language with parents.
Analysis revealed that students in general reported a moderate amount of conflict with their parents. Intergenerational conflict was not affected by whether or not the adolescent was an immigrant to Canada. Female adolescents reported higher conflict with their fathers, but no gender differences were noted with mothers. Of the three largest ethnic groups in the study, Indo-Canadians reported significantly more conflict with mothers than did either Euro-Canadians or Chinese-Canadians and a greater amount of conflict with fathers than did Chinese-Canadians.
Chinese-Canadians reported less conflict with either parent than did either Indo-Canadians or Euro-Canadians. Bicultural students did not report significantly less conflict than traditional, assimilated or marginal adolescents. Age at the time of immigration did not affect the amount of intergenerational conflict. And finally, adolescents who speak a common language with their parents in the home perceived less conflict with mothers.
While few recommendations could be made as a result of the findings, a framework for the analysis of integration patterns was developed, a comprehensive review of the literature conducted and questions for future research on intergenerational conflict were raised.<br>Education, Faculty of<br>Graduate

Politinių santykių įtampos sferoje senosios - jaunosios katalikų kartų konfliktas ryškiausiai pasireiškė demokratijos - partokratijos, konservatizmo - radikalizmo bei pozicijos - opozicijos aspektuose. Jaunoji karta sekdama bei orientuodamasi į modernizacijos Vakarų Europoje procesus kritiškai vertino senosios kartos konservatyvumą, archaišką demokratijos sampratos suvokimą bei politinės opozicijos konstruktyvaus veiksnio valstybės valdyme ignoravimą.
Vertindami tuometines Europos santvarkas, tuo pačiu mėgindami kurti savitą lietuvišką modelį jie idealizavo vadizmo, autoriteto svarbą politiniame gyvenime. Žavėjosi dinamiška...

A new catholic character wave has reached Lithuania on a 4th decade. Most of them have just finished West Europe universities. Last-mentioned wave consider a new state system improvement projects in their country going entirely to West countries tradition. Primarily they started Lithuanian modernization plans by propagating culture and public life Lithuanization considering to possibilities for active work in A.Smetona Authoritarianism opposition. The younger generation mature already on 1918. They did not feel any regards to liberal democracy tradition in Lithuania after First World War. That was one of the main conflict reasons with elder generation public-spirited persons and politicians.
Elder and younger generations conflict highly expressed on a political relation stress of action field by democracy – party interest, conservatism – radicalism and position – opposition antithesis relation. Younger generation critically valued conservatism of elder generation according to West Europe modernization processes. Also they criticised archaic democracy conception perceive and political opposition slight how one of the main constructive state management factor.

Previous issue date: 2016-05-19<br>This study aims to investigate the use and the process of integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education in public schools - the early years of the city of Toledo / PR. The methodology used was a qualitative approach and gathered a bibliographic study on the subject, as well as carrying out semi-structured interviews and printed questionnaire. The theoretical framework of this study is based on authors who work with the issue of ICTs in education, from Manuel Castells, Pierre Lévy, Jesús Martin-Barbero, Marta Gabriel, Maria Luiza Belloni, Vani Moreira Kenski. Regarding the use of oral sources were used as a means to supplement the documentary information. To obtain the data was a questionnaire with 25 questions to 60 teachers of the municipal network. The questioned were delivered as follows: in a meeting held by the Municipal Department of Education, were given randomly 100 questionnaires the directors of the 36 municipal schools, which passed on to teachers; through them, we got important information from the professional group and individual use, school structure, organizational laboratories or computer rooms, availability and access, within others. These data, along with officials of Amop and municipal Secretariat, allowed us to make an analysis on digital migrants and the use they make of technology as a means of production of teaching.<br>O presente estudo visa a investigar o uso e o processo de inserção das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) no ensino das escolas públicas municipais – anos iniciais do município de Toledo/PR.

Price, Sidjae T. "Understanding How Generation X and Millennial Entrepreneurs Manage Organizational Conflict." Diss., NSUWorks, 2018. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/shss_dcar_etd/122.
Full textAbstract:
As the United States prepares for a generational shift in leaders, there is a lack of literature adequately examining how Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs manage organizational conflict about leadership and change management. The scope of this problem should concern individuals who are stakeholders in any organization. In preparation for the coming shift in generational leaders, the subject study explored the management of organizational conflict regarding leadership and change management for Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs. Supported by a theoretical foundation built on theory of generations and realistic group conflict theory, this qualitative study analyzed the interviews and narratives of six Generation X entrepreneurs and six Millennial entrepreneurs. The analysis outlined specific themes of the management of organizational conflict by participants from both generations. This study revealed that Generation X cohort members tackle contemporaneous or emerging conflict via formal dialogue and compromised reconciliations, in the service and advancement of the organization, while Millennial entrepreneurs manage organizational conflict as it relates to leadership and change management by employing conversations rooted in fundamental company values, orchestrating team meetings, and establishing a goal-aligned yet collaborative work culture. The subject study also disclosed that Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs both incorporate conversations to manage organizational conflict as it relates to leadership and change management, but they contrast on prioritizing creating a collaborative work culture versus focusing on company growth. At an organizational level, the instant study impacts stakeholders by enabling positive social changes informed by evidence-based insights about how Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs manage organizational conflict.

Full textAbstract:
The Millennial Generation is a young generation now required to effectively and efficiently navigate the cultural diversity that they encounter in various group settings throughout the United States. Research has examined conflict management styles and intercultural sensitivity, but few studies have investigated these two concepts specifically within the Millennial Generation. The purpose of this study is to fill the gap that exists in the current literature through an examination of the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and conflict management styles within the Millennial Generation in a hypothetical intercultural group setting. The results from 221 participants indicate that positive and negative relationships exist among the dimensions of intercultural sensitivity and conflict management styles, Millennials show a preference for conflict management styles that reflect a concern for self, and Millennials report high Interaction Confidence and low Respect for Cultural Difference. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

Pela primeira vez na história, três gerações de servidores trabalham juntos no poder executivo federal: Baby Boomers, Geração X e Geração Y. Cada geração possui características e atitudes peculiares que as diferenciam, o que, por vezes, leva a um clima de tensão no ambiente organizacional. Este trabalho tem por objetivos identificar se, e de que modo, as diferenças de características e as de atitudes geracionais são relevantes enquanto fonte geradora de conflito em um grupo de servidores do serviço público federal e a partir daí caso ocorram, buscar propostas que possam mitigar essas diferenças. Para atingir esses objetivos, optou-se por utilizar (como recurso metodológico) uma pesquisa exploratória de dados por meio de um estudo de caso. Os dados - coletados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas em determinada autarquia de ensino fundamental e médio do governo federal - foram tratados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. Ao longo do desenvolvimento da pesquisa, identificou-se que as diferenças geracionais são perceptíveis pelos servidores no dia a dia e, eventualmente, elas provocam episódios de discordância na realização de algumas tarefas, comuns ou não. Por outro lado, diferentemente do fator geracional, identificou-se outro ponto de vista, que emerge como fonte geradora para o conflito: a rivalidade entre novos servidores (proponentes de nova realidade para serviço público), e servidores mais antigos (apegados a tradicionais costumes).<br>At the beginning of the new millennium a new generation of workers enters public service cadres: Generation Y. For the first time in history, three generations of servers working together in the federal executive branch: Baby Boomers, Generation X and generation Y, every generation has peculiar characteristics and attitudes that make them distinct, which sometimes leads to a climate of tension in the organizational environment. This work aims to identify whether and how the features and differences of generational attitudes are relevant as a source of generating conflict in a group of servers in the federal public service and, if they occur, get proposals that can mitigate these differences. To achieve these goals, we decided to use (such as methodological feature) an exploratory research of data through a case study. Collected data from semi-structured interviews carried out in a given municipality of elementary and secondary education in the federal Government-were treated by the technique of content analysis. Throughout the development of the survey, it was identified that generational differences are noticeable by the servers on a daily basis and, eventually, they cause episodes of disagreement in the execution of some tasks, common or not. On the other hand, unlike the generational factor, has another point of view, that emerges as a source for generating the conflict: the rivalry between new servers (proponents of new reality for public service), and older servers (attached to traditional customs).

Full textAbstract:
<p> Narrative is one of the fundamental cognitive tools that we use to understand the world around us. When interacting with other humans we rely on a shared knowledge of narrative structure, but in order to enable this kind of communication with digital artifacts we must first formalize these narrative conventions. Narratology, computer science, and cognitive science have formed a symbiotic relationship around this endeavor to create computational models of narrative. These models provide us a deeper understanding of story structure and will enable us to create a fundamentally new kind of interactive narrative experience in which the author, the audience, and the machine all participate in the story composition process. </p><p> This document presents a computational model of narrative conflict, its empirical evaluation, and its deployment in an interactive narrative experience. Narratologists have described conflict in terms of the diculties that an intelligent agent encounters while executing a plan to achieve a gol.. This definition is inherently plan-based, and has been integrated into an existing model of narrative based on the data structures and algorithms of artificial intelligence planning|the process of constructing a sequence of actions to achieve a goal. The conflict Partial Order Causal Link (or CPOCL) model of narrative represents the events of a story along with their causal structure and temporal constraints. It extends previous models by representing non-executed actions which describe how an agent intended to complete its plans even if those plans failed, thus enabling an explicit representation of thwarted plans and conflict. The model also includes seven dimensions which can distinguish one conflict from another and provide authors with greater control over story generation: participants, topic, duration, balance, directness, intensity, and resolution. </p><p> One valuable aspect of plan-based models is that they can be generated and modified automatically. Two story creation methods are discussed: the plan-space CPOCL algorithm that works directly with the rich CPOCL knowledge representation and the state-space Glaive algorithm which is significantly faster. Glaive achieves its speedup by incorporating research from fast forward-chaining state-space heuristic search planning and by using the constraints that a valid narrative plan must obey to calculate a more accurate heuristic. Glaive is fast enough to solve certain non-trivial narrative planning problems in real time. </p><p> This computational model of narrative conflict has been evaluated in a series of empirical experiments. The first validates the three discrete dimensions of conflict: participants, topic, and duration. It demonstrates that a human audience recognizes thwarted plans in static text stories in the same places that the CPOCL model defines them to exist. The second experiment validates the four continuous dimensions|balance, directness, intensity, and resolution|by showing that a human audience ranks static text stories in the same order defined by the formulas for those dimensions. </p><p> The final experiment is an evaluation of an interactive narrative video game called The Best Laid Plans, which uses Glaive to generate a story at run time from atomic actions and without recourse to pre-scripted behaviors or story fragments. In this game, the player first acts out a plan to achieve a goal and then Glaive coordinates all the non-player characters in the game to thwart the player's plan. The game is evaluated relative to two other versions: a control in which the other characters do nothing and a scripted version in which the other characters are controlled by programs written by a human author. Players recognize intentionality and conflict in the stories Glaive produces more so than in the control and comparably to the human scripted version. </p><p> In summary, this document describes how a narratological definition of conflict as thwarted plans has been operationalized in plan data structures and incorporated into a narrative planning algorithm. The knowledge representation is rich enough that a human audience recognizes thwarted plans where the model defines them to exist. The algorithm is fast enough to be used in a real time interactive context for certain non-trivial story domains. This work represents one small advancement toward understanding human storytelling and leveraging that understanding in interactive systems.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Russians actions in Ukraine came as a chock to the west, who have been striving to conceptualize Russian warfare since. This has resulted in several conflicting definitions involving different means and methods. This might be problematic, both for a country and its military, in trying to define and counter the threat of Russian warfare. It might also be problematic for scientific enquiry, since the definitions might become too broad and neglect vital aspects of Russian warfare. This study there-fore compare and test two rivalling theories about Russian warfare, New-Generation Warfare (NGW) and Full-Spectrum Conflict (FSC), by analysing Russia’s actions in the Ukrainian conflict. By doing so it aims to shed light on which of the two theories offers the best approach to analysing the case. The study uses a qualitative text research method to examine secondary sources describing the conflict and transliterations of Putin’s speeches. Several indicators for each theoretical framework are confirmed and made the analysis possible. The results of this analysis show that Russia in Ukraine used their means and methods synchronously rather than applying a diachronic course of action as advocated by NGW. Results therefore suggest that FSC and its mix of means and methods better describes Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work<br>Gerad D. Middendorf<br>For over two decades the people of northern Uganda endured horrific atrocities during Africa’s forgotten war in the form of attacks and child abductions by the Lord’s Resistance Army, animal rustling by neighboring ethnic groups, and internal displacement of an unimaginable 90 percent of the northern parts of the country. With the majority of internally displaced persons spending over a decade in IDP camps, an entire generation of Acholi was socialized and acculturated in a non-traditional environment. A decade after the last LRA attack, I ask, what are the cultural impacts of the conflict and how has the culture recovered from the trauma. Using ethnographic analysis, this dissertation is rooted in over 150 interviews. While it has been presented to the world at large that Joseph Kony’s LRA is the one of the biggest problems facing the region, I found it is not the case. Interviewees discussed serious inadequacies in education, land conflict, culture loss, climate change, drought, famine, a perceived generational divide, and a strong distrust of the Ugandan government. Additionally this research examines the case of Uganda through the lens of, and attempts to build upon, Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural trauma process. I argue the increasing reach and instantaneous nature of social media can interact with, alter, and prolong the trauma process. The externalization of defining a problem and solutions for that problem while the trauma process is occurring, or shortly after the trauma has subsided, can lead to retraumatization.

Full textAbstract:
As the number of aircraft is expected to triple in the coming decades, the manual process used to safely route aircraft while in flight will become insufficient. There already exist work to algorithmically detect safe and unsafe routes between aircraft. This thesis extends that system such that the computation is distributed across multiple machines. In addition it also supports the detection of an unsafe route as it is actively modified by a third party. Furthermore, the system supports providing safe or unsafe route notification to multiple interested clients.
