The research explored the perceptions of 210 respondents.

These conflicts often stemmed from differences in work approaches, communication styles, and a lack of awareness about each generation's strengths. While mutual respect among generations was acknowledged by 69.7% of respondents, the study reveals that generational differences can hinder effective teamwork, with 62.6% of participants agreeing that these differences impact collaborative efforts. Furthermore, 82.9% of respondents believe that generational conflicts negatively affect the overall performance of community development projects. The study highlights the importance of resolving generational conflicts, with 87.3% of participants expressing the belief that projects perform better when such conflicts are addressed. Strategies for resolution, as endorsed by respondents, include training programs on generational differences, creating a culture of open communication, and implementing mentorship programs. The study concluded that the findings of this study underscore the significance of addressing and resolving generational gap conflicts within community development projects. It is evident that these conflicts negatively impact project performance, primarily through hindering teamwork and effective communication.
