“…The confirmation of H1 shows the importance of studying engagement among Generation Y professionals, as this is directly proportional to their performance in the context of their organization. Age and generation have important consequences for performance in the work environment, including performance and career (Cordeiro et al, 2012;Cordeiro and Albuquerque, 2017). This research studied the association of performance and engagement with human resource practices and leadership.…”

“…Millennial generation aspects such as career, satisfaction, commitment, retention and organizational performance (Cordeiro and Albuquerque, 2017).…”
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the relationship between leadership and engagement on the individual performance of Millennial generation professionals.
Design/methodology/approach
A survey was carried out with higher education business school students in Brazil. The sampling procedure involved a convenience selection of Millennial generation professionals who are employed and have recently undergone a performance evaluation process. The professionals answered a questionnaire about their perception of an empowering and directive leader, engagement, human resource practices and performance.
Findings
The authors demonstrated the potential of leaders to generate engagement and influence performance, showing the need for companies to become involved in the leadership process by defining appropriate leader profiles and establishing clear practices and criteria for their actions with regard to Millennial generation.
Practical implications
The potential of empowering leadership to generate engagement, and that of directive leadership to influence performance, show the need for companies to become involved in the leadership process by defining appropriate leader profiles and establishing clear criteria for their actions toward Millennial generation.
Originality/value
In Brazil, empowering leaders do not directly influence their subordinates’ performance, unlike what was found in previous studies. Thus, it may be that they also do not perceive, or are not working in, more flexible or participative workplaces, which interferes with the perception of the direct relationship between the leadership’s actions and their personal performance.

The purpose of our empirical investigation, based on the theory of reasoned action and generational theory, is to study the green DIY retail store choice of socially responsible consumer generations (Baby Boomers, Millennials, Gen X-ers and Gen Zs). The authors base their quantitative research on structural equation modelling in an emerging market (Romania) to highlight the socially responsible consumption behavioural factors (education on environmental protection and social responsibility, rational use of resources and financial sacrifice necessary to protect the environment) which drive the customers of international DIY store chains operating in Europe in their choice of retail formats. The results reveal that there is a difference between Romanian and European-based retail chains with respect to the impact of socially responsible consumption behavioural dimensions on the choice of retail format, due to their respective communication of environmental governance strategies and different actions implemented. The research contributes to the development of the literature by establishing a connection between socially responsible consumption behaviour and retail format choice in green DIY retailing. From the management perspective, the paper provides retailers operating in emerging markets with possible directions to adapt their strategies when approaching these markets. The value of the paper lies in the application of socially responsible consumption behaviour scale and generational theory in green DIY retailing to a fast-growing emerging market, with a view to enhancing consumer retail format choice, depending on their attitudes towards social responsibility and propensity towards environmental protection.
