| This study has investigated generational differences among two religious non-profit organizations along the US/Mexico border on measures of followers' perception of servant leadership and followers' job satisfaction. A convenience sample was recruited by electronic means from the board and staff of World Radio Network, Inc., and the board, staff, and students of Rio Grande Bible Ministries. Participants took the online version of the Organizational Leadership Assessment (OLA) (Laub, 1999). Language was determined by the language the participant selected to take the OLA. A sample of n = 152 completed the demographic survey and the OLA. This was a non-experimental descriptive research design. The respondents' generational cohort as a categorical independent variable was compared with composite scores on the servant leadership scale and the job satisfaction scale of the OLA as dependent variables, controlling for language, tenure, gender, education, and organizational level employing factorial analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) methodology. Separate ANCOVAs were conducted for generational differences on the servant leadership scale of the OLA, and on generational differences on the job satisfaction scale of the OLA. In addition, multiple regression analysis was used to analyze composite scores on the servant leadership scale of the OLA as a predictor of composite scores on the job satisfaction scale of the OLA. The demographic variables of generational cohort, language, tenure, gender, education, and organizational level were entered as control variables into the hierarchical regression analysis. |
