Abstract: A notable challenge faced by today’s organisations concerns generational diversity. The paper aims to highlight the distinctive traits of Generation Z, as well as their values, preferences, and work-related expectations. It also focuses on what these younger generations look for when entering a new job, the factors that influence their decision to stay, and the work patterns they prefer.
Keywords: human resource management, job, Generation Z.
