Este estudo teve como objetivo a validação de um instrumento para avaliar comportamentos de envolvimento e de participação cívica, através da adaptação do Civic Engagement Quiz, (The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement), para a população portuguesa, bem como a análise dos resultados em função das diferentes gerações da população (Baby Boomers, Generation X e Millennials). Participaram no estudo 135 pessoas, de ambos os sexos, 98 homens (72.6%) e 37 mulheres (27.4%), com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 87 anos (média = 57.79; D.P. = 15.65). Os dados foram submetidos à análise fatorial com rotação varimax. A escala apresentabons índices de consistência interna (valores entre.75 e .85) e uma análise fatorial que revelou a existência de uma estrutura trifatorial com 35% de variância explicada. Os 3 fatores extraídos (indicadores cívicos, eleitorais e de voz política) estão de acordo com a estrutura fatorial original. A análise de diferenças entre as gerações mostram que os participantes da geração Baby Boomers quando comparados com os participantes das gerações Generation X e Millennials apresentam, resultados mais baixos no que respeita aos indicadores eleitorais.

The Relationship

This study focused on college students’ attitudes toward the relationship between online civic responsibility and online civic engagement and its impacts. It also investigated the mediating roles of online civic learning and online civic expression in this relationship. A survey was conducted in Taiwan, testing for indirect effects with mediated variables using a structural equation model. The study tested hypotheses about the mediations of online civic learning and online civic expression on this relationship between online civic responsibility and online civic engagement for college students. The results indicate that the mediators of online civic learning and online civic expression fully mediate the relationship between online civic responsibility and online civic engagement.

Using Data

In recent years, time engagement behaviors of two generations, namely Baby Boomers and Millennials have sparked much interest because these generations constitute the bulk of the American population today and they also exhibit “atypical” activity–travel patterns compared with other generations. The objective of the current research is to conduct a systematic study of the time engagement behaviors of five American generations: the GI Generation (birth year: 1901–1924), the Silent Generation (birth year: 1925–1943), Baby Boomers (birth year: 1944–1964), Generation X (birth year: 1965–1981), and Millennials (birth year: 1982–2000). Particularly, the study aims at isolating heterogeneity in behaviors associated with structural changes in the society from those associated with inherent generational characteristics. Using data from four waves (1965, 1985, 2005, and 2012) of the American Heritage and Time Use Study, the analysis explores the time engagement behaviors while accounting for the age, period, and cohort effects in addition to different socioeconomic and demographic variables. The analysis reveals that Millennials have generally delayed participation in life-changing events such as marriage and workforce entry, and have exhibited prolonged student status compared with previous generations. Millennials show lower participation in work and higher participation in discretionary activities compared with individuals of the same age group from previous generations. On the other hand, Baby Boomers clearly exhibited increased travel engagement compared with the previous generations at different stages of their lives.

Today's workforce is more diverse than ever, comprised of five generational cohorts: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. As each generation has its own values, beliefs, and expectations, their leadership preferences pose new challenges for organizations. In this chapter, leadership approaches are discussed, and the differences and similarities among preferred generational leadership styles are examined. The purpose of this chapter is to determine an appropriate leadership style that meets the needs of all generations, and globally responsible inter-generational leadership has been suggested as the most effective approach.

Communication Methods

The proliferation of online graduate schools has resulted in greater numbers of students with greater diversity than ever before. Generational diversity affects the ability of online faculty to communicate effectively with graduate students. Faculty-student communication is improved by applying generational theory. Four main cohort groups actively participate in online education, each with their own set of preferences and tendencies, including: Veterans (born 1925-1942); Baby Boomers (born 1943-1960); Generation X (born 1961-1980); and Millennials (born 1981-2001). Differentiating online faculty communication methods based on generational tendencies is a potent and efficient method of empowering educators and motivating graduate students. Improved faculty-student communication enhances student engagement, creating greater satisfaction that leads to higher retention and improved academic performance. As faculty understand generational identity, communication is enriched by emphasizing each generation's strengths and avoiding misunderstandings.

High Aspiration

Millennials, born starting from the 1980s, who are also called Nexters, the Net Generation, and Generation Y represent a new workforce in a global market and have high aspiration. Because of their digital, liquid, and collective mindset, they are adapting the way people generate the future. But now we have three generations representing the workforce at the same time . Before them, the world had two other generation groups: Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, and the Baby Boomers who were born between 1946 and 1964 . Following the Strauss-Howe generation theory, each type of generation falls on a certain cycle of social and economic development, namely high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. As a result, the Baby Boomers were born during the high, Generation X during the awakening, and millennials entered the unraveling period.

Main Effect

Because Millennials and Generation X tend to desire close relationships with their leaders, expect frequent and open communication, and integrate their personal and professional contacts via social media, it was predicted they would be more likely than Baby Boomers to accept a Facebook friend request from their boss. Although no main effect was found for generational differences, a significant interaction between self-disclosure and generation was found, such that self-disclosure was positively related to acceptance of a friend request from one's boss for Baby Boomers and Generation X, but negatively related for Millennials. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
