Any effort to classify individual behavior in organizations, in my opinion, is an effort to find easy solution to a very complex issue. Individuals carry a baggage from the social conditioning outside the work environment as well as one within. These two may not vary too much (probably depends on the strength of the instrumental view about work in the individual)and one influences the other. Fundamental changes in behavior of individuals in organisation will be limited by these factors. Of course there could be adaptive behavior from individuals according to organizational environment. The key according to me is reconditioning individual behavior and here the leader has to play an important role as a mentor.
Looking from this angle, it does not matter to me much how individuals behaved in the previous century or how would behave in next!
