Stressz tényezők a Z generációs munkavállalók körében

Absztrakt

Generation Z workers (born after 1995) are increasingly challenging managers and HR professionals. They experience difficulties in recruiting, retaining, motivating and managing them. And the relevant literatures have also found that the younger generation as a whole has more difficulty in managing (workplace) stress. Based on a questionnaire survey of 127 employees working in HR or in managerial positions, this study shows how Generation Z employees differ in their experience of certain workplace stressors compared to previous generations. The sample was almost equally split between SMEs, large corporates with less than 500 and more than 500 employees. The results of the study show that Generation Z is more different from previous age groups in terms of the factors that cause work-related stress, such as lack of pay transparency, lack of career development opportunities and monotony, i.e. activities that are stimulating or seem meaningless. Overall, the medians of all stressors showed a positive divergence in the responses of the respondents.
