Addressing the New Workforce’s Expectations in the Management Discussion
(2021) MGTN59 20211Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- Management, due to its interdependence with many contingent factors of the world, is a concept in continuous evolution. One of the factors that drive this evolution is the workforce, which is also constantly changing. However, despite the importance of considering the expectations of the workforce towards management, more attention has to be paid to this factor in the discussion on management. Therefore, this study aims to inductively collect empirical information about the new workforce's expectations towards management. Afterwards, based on the findings, this research aims to scrutinise the management discussion’s ability to address the expectations of the new workforce.

- Management, due to its interdependence with many contingent factors of the world, is a concept in continuous evolution. One of the factors that drive this evolution is the workforce, which is also constantly changing. However, despite the importance of considering the expectations of the workforce towards management, more attention has to be paid to this factor in the discussion on management. Therefore, this study aims to inductively collect empirical information about the new workforce's expectations towards management. Afterwards, based on the findings, this research aims to scrutinise the management discussion’s ability to address the expectations of the new workforce. The added value of this assessment is to formulate suggestions for possible improvements in the discussion - in order to better address the expectations of the new workforce towards management. Through this study, we conclude that the most recent parts of the management debate (i.e., the most recent theories on management) are mostly able to address the expectations of the new workforce towards management and are comparatively better than the older theories in doing so. Nevertheless, by paying more attention to issues such as the ‘freedom and guidance’ dilemma and the emotional intelligence ability of managers, the discussion on management would benefit in the form of an enhanced ability to address the expectations of the new workforce. Ultimately, the greater the ability of the management debate to correctly address the workforce’s expectations, the better can management bring about the best outcomes through the workforce. (Less)
