Understanding How Toxic Leadership Impacts Burnout Across Generations
Summary
This study looks at how toxic leadership affects burnout in employees and how this impact might be different for people from different age groups. Burnout is when someone feels emotionally drained, disconnected from their work, and less able to do their job well. Toxic leadership means a boss or leader whose behavior harms their team or workplace.
We want to understand how workers from different generations—Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z—experience toxic leadership and burnout. Each generation has its own values and ideas about work, so their experiences might be different. By learning more about these differences, we hope to help workplaces create better leadership strategies to reduce burnout and support employees better.
