The statistically significant differences in the opinions of the respondents in respect to their age, gender, work experience, marital status and choice of specialty/profession are described. The empirical study results reveal that the motivating factors (intrinsic and extrinsic) for Generation Z respondents can be summarized as: respect of opinion; financial reward; opportunity personal potential to be fulfilled; contribution to the welfare of the society; and the security offered by the profession.
