Description
Summary:Transitioning from one generation of leaders to another for organizational effectiveness has been discussed among academics and professionals. Obtaining empirical evidence on managerial and leadership approaches of managers in the 21st century has been considered necessary, especially in the digital era. This paper investigates the managerial approaches and establishes factors that enhance the performance of millennial managers. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed, leveraging primary data from a survey questionnaire designed to elicit information from a cross-section of 235 millennial managers across different sectors in Nigeria. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to measure the constructs around the subject matter using Smart PLS. Findings revealed that technological advancement and cooperation from organizational members are essential factors supporting the productive performance of millennial managers. Results further showed that millennial management is a transformational leadership style. There is a need to design a blueprint at the organizational level to motivate and develop the appropriate leadership culture among millennial managers to drive the 21st-century organization for better performance.
