Summary/Abstract: In recent years, the youngest generations referred to as Z have come into the labor market. The representatives of this generation were born after 1994. The times in which they grew up made them feel comfortable using the benefits of new technologies. Due to their excessive attachment to technology, they formulate claims towards employers regarding the change in attitude towards their employment conditions. Understanding the requirements, aspirations, and approaches of the Z generation can be a contributing factor to the changes that build a model for engaging them in fulfilling their professional duties for the organization. The article consists of two parts. The theoretical one includes an interpretation of the term “generation” and the characteristics of the youngest generation referred to as Z. The second part of this paper is a presentation of the results of a questionnaire survey aimed at gaining information on the expectations of representatives of this generation towards work and employers.
