Historically, men have been characterized as task-oriented leaders who are motivated by desires for autonomy, wealth, and power (17, 33). However, these "masculine" views of leadership might not accurately capture the leadership motivations of Millennial males as the views were developed in previous generations (4). Given the commitment of many Millennials towards socially responsible attitudes and behaviors (18, 25), we utilized a qualitative research design to examine the influence of social change on the leadership motivations of Millennial male intercollegiate athletes. In doing so, we found participants were motivated to lead in order to affect social change within their communities and within society. Our findings indicate a new perspective, one which includes a commitment to social change, is potentially needed when discussing "masculine" views of leadership.
从历史上看，男性一直被刻画为以任务为导向的领导者，他们受到对自主权、财富和权力的渴望所驱动（17, 33）。然而，这些关于领导力的“男性化”观点可能无法准确地反映千禧一代男性的领导动机，因为这些观点是在前几代人中形成的（4）。鉴于许多千禧一代对社会责任感的态度和行为的承诺（18, 25），我们采用了定性研究设计来考察社会变革对千禧一代男性大学生运动员领导动机的影响。在此过程中，我们发现参与者受到激励去引领，以便在他们的社区和社会中带来社会变革。我们的研究结果表明，在讨论领导力的“男性化”观点时，可能需要一个新的视角，其中包括对社会变革的承诺。
