El impacto de la diversidad de generaciones en la confianza dentro de las empresas
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo investiga las causas de las diferencias generacionales en el trabajo y su impacto en la propensión a confiar. Tratamos la propensión a la confianza como un proxy del capital social, aumentando la cooperación y la eficiencia. Evaluamos las variaciones de confianza en una muestra de cinco empresas utilizando métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos para investigar posibles diferencias en los niveles de confianza entre grupos generacionales. Realizamos 36 entrevistas en profundidad y 24 grupos focales, y recopilamos 894 cuestionarios válidos. El análisis cualitativo sugiere que las diferencias entre generaciones están relacionadas con la experiencia del tiempo y el flujo del tiempo, así como con la incertidumbre y la vulnerabilidad a lo largo de la vida. La vulnerabilidad percibida afecta negativamente la predisposición a la confianza. Los resultados del estudio cuantitativo confirman este hallazgo.
