Abstract
Millennial is the category of generation who are born between
1980s to 2000. Hence, the present workplace across industries in the
globe is dominated by millennials. It is also clear that they are the
future leaders. Hence, it is imperative to comprehend the preferences
they perceive in terms of work and leadership. When we are deliberating
about work, it covers both the content and context of the work setting,
whereas leadership is being acknowledged as the management or boss, who
influence millennials to contribute for the revenue of the organization.
So, major focus in the workplace has gone to millennials. No doubt,
these millennials possess and demonstrate different attitudes, values,
beliefs, and aspirations when compared to the previous generations and
leaders should be alert every time, be flexible towards the requirement
and become the role model for the generation. Therefore, an attempt has
been made here by the researchers to develop a conceptual framework that
explores Millennials’ perception of leadership in the workplace. By
examining Millennials perception in the context of leadership, this
article provides important theoretical and practical implications for
organizations of present and future.
