Estilos de liderazgo de los millennials y su influencia en el desempeño de las pequeñas empresas del sector textil manufactura

Leadership styles impact the performance and competitiveness of organizations. However, little has been studied about the leadership style of millennials. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the influence of leadership styles exerted by millennials on the performance of small companies in the textile manufacturing sector of Metropolitan Lima. The research is quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and causal, with a sample consisting of 400 millennial administrators, businesspeople, and managers. The data obtained were analyzed by partial least squares (pls) estimation. To measure the reliability of the implemented instrument, Cronbach's alpha was used: leadership styles (0.718) and performance (0.806). Our results suggest that leadership styles have an influence on the performance of small companies and that the styles with the best results are those of the transformational and passive type, while transactional leadership has a negative performance. Companies looking for better organizational results could make use of this research to identify the most suitable leadership style that decision makers should embrace.
