Summary/Abstract: The oldest representatives of generation Z have already entered the labor market; which sets a lot of new challenges for human resource managers; associated with their adoption into companies. It becomes necessary to learn values; needs and motivations in order to apply adequate human resource management methods. According to the authors the situation gets complicated by the fact that generation Z demonstrates contradictory qualities; which undoubtedly makes it difficult to fully understand its representatives. Hence they can be described as the “generation of paradoxes”. This article aims to identify and generally chartacterise the paradoxes typical of the representatives of this generation. The article also attempts to answer the question: How to manage the workforce from generation full of paradoxes? The article is based on domestic and foreign literature as well as on research conducted by the authors.
