Abstract: The purpose of this quantitative study was to identify and compare differences in leadership behaviors of senior student affairs officers (SSAOs) based on their generational cohort (Baby Boomer, Generation X, Millennial). The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used to measure nine leadership behaviors and three leadership outcomes. Surveys were administered electronically to 3,361 individuals identified as a chief student affairs officer or director of student affairs in the Higher Education Online Directory (2014). There were 449 respondents including 246 Baby Boomers, 192 Generation Xers, and 11 Millennials. The findings showed that whereas generation x SSAOs exhibited more transactional leadership behavior, baby boomers were more transformational. The results of this study have implications for the field of student affairs as research and practice support the need for more transformational leaders in senior administrative positions in higher education.
