Keywords:
Generation Z, students, Workplace Expectations.Abstract
With the share of 20.1% of the total Indian population, the Z-generation (born between 1995 and 2012) is all set to occupy major share of workforce in the coming decade. This generation has an entirely unique perspective on careers and how to succeed in the workforce. It is thus imperative for today’s leaders to strategize how best to recruit, retain, motivate, and manage Gen Zers (Stillman & Stillman, 2017). In this research paper, a sample of 100 Gen Z students pursuing their post-graduation in Management at various institutes of Ahmedabad are studied to understand their workplace expectations under four heads, viz. expectations related to job, work itself, work environment and organization.Downloads
