Drawing on learning and generational theory, we investigate the effect of socio-economic and contextual conditions on managerial learning and organizational development. Using data from 3657 managers across 20 countries, we untangle the interactive effect of national culture and generational cohort on learning goal orientation (LGO). Managers from younger generations (e.g. generation X) had a stronger LGO than those in older generations (e.g. Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1959). Performance orientation (PO) moderated the relationships so that the gap was stronger in high PO cultures. A validation of a model using hierarchical linear modelling (HLM) supports a cross-level moderation model of PO on LGO. Our study provides important first evidence of the value of the multilevel analysis to understanding LGO in different groups of managers, improving scholarly capacity to understand the multilevel and cross-level effects that govern the workplace. It also supports cross-level studies for the development of global managers from different generational groups. We extend LGO research by identifying the contextual influence and how this impacts on the behaviour of managers across different societal ‘structures’ (e.g. generations) and societies (e.g. cultures). The results provide practical suggestions that make a difference in the workplace.

学习目标定向的文化和世代预测因素:20个国家/地区的经理人多层次分析

利用学习和世代论,我们研究了社会经济和环境条件对管理学习和组织发展的影响。利用来自20个国家/地区的3657位管理者的数据,我们揭示了民族文化和代际群体对学习目标定向(LGO)的互动影响。年轻一代(例如X代)的经理们的LGO比老一代(例如1946年至1959年出生的婴儿潮一代)的LGO实力更强。绩效导向(PO)缓和了这种关系,因此在高PO文化中,这种差距更加明显。使用分层线性建模(HLM)进行的模型验证支持LGO上PO的跨级别审核模型。我们的研究提供了重要的初步证据,证明了多层次分析对于了解不同管理者群体中的LGO的价值,提高学术能力,以了解管理工作场所的多层次和跨层次的影响。它还支持跨层次的研究,以培养来自不同世代群体的全球管理者。我们通过确定情境影响以及它如何影响不同社会“结构”(例如,世代)和社会(例如,文化)中管理者的行为,来扩展LGO研究。结果提供了可在工作场所有所作为的实用建议。我们通过确定情境影响以及它如何影响不同社会“结构”(例如,世代)和社会(例如,文化)中管理者的行为,来扩展LGO研究。结果提供了可在工作场所有所作为的实用建议。我们通过确定情境影响以及它如何影响不同社会“结构”(例如,世代)和社会(例如,文化)中管理者的行为,来扩展LGO研究。结果提供了可在工作场所有所作为的实用建议。
