Abstract

Although popular in the organizational sciences, in the media, and in practice, the concepts of “generations” and “generational differences” have been increasingly scrutinized based on theoretical, methodological, and statistical concerns. Here, we present a short obituary to bid adieu to these troubled concepts, with the hopes of memorializing and “putting to rest” these controversial ideas. We encourage researchers and practitioners to think beyond the narrow scope offered by the idea of generations, adopt a more critical perspective on our science and practice, and learn from the mistakes of the past.

几代人，我们几乎不认识叶:一篇讣告

尽管在组织科学、媒体和实践中很受欢迎，但“代际”和“代际差异”的概念越来越多地受到基于理论、方法和统计的关注。在这里，我们发表一篇简短的讣告，告别这些陷入困境的概念，希望能纪念并“平息”这些有争议的想法。我们鼓励研究人员和从业者超越世代观念所提供的狭窄范围进行思考，对我们的科学和实践采取更批判性的观点，并从过去的错误中吸取教训。
