Generations, We Hardly Knew Ye: An Obituary
为“世代”和“代际差异”概念撰写了一篇学术讣告，指出这些概念在理论、方法和统计上存在严重问题，呼吁研究者和实践者超越这一狭隘视角，以更批判的眼光看待科学和实践。
Although popular in the organizational sciences, in the media, and in practice, the concepts of “generations” and “generational differences” have been increasingly scrutinized based on theoretical, methodological, and statistical concerns. Here, we present a short obituary to bid adieu to these troubled concepts, with the hopes of memorializing and “putting to rest” these controversial ideas. We encourage researchers and practitioners to think beyond the narrow scope offered by the idea of generations, adopt a more critical perspective on our science and practice, and learn from the mistakes of the past.
