    AbstractA cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample (N = 3,093) of Finnish and Italian registered nurses to identify differences related to generation, country, gender, and educational level in their perceptions and opinions about workplace-related dimensions of nursing and their managers' leadership practices. The Multidimensional Nursing Generations Questionnaire (MNGQ) and two subscales of the Transformational Leadership Scale (TLS), "Feedback and Rewards" and "Professional Development," were used as survey tools. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistically significant (p < .05) generational and country differences emerged in the MNGQ components "Conflicts between generations," "Patient safety view," "Relationships between generations," "Working as a multigenerational team," "Orientation to change," "Intention to leave," and "Flexibility and availability." Generational and country differences also emerged for the two TLS subscales. Generational differences existed between registered nurses of different generations and countries, and should be considered in leading multigenerational nurses' workforces.
