Research: Workforce Engagement of Generation Z

Managers have to ensure the engagement of four different generational groups as part of the workforce (Society for Human Resource Management, 2007). The conflict between generations and its negative impact on workforce productivity, company progress and overall advancement has long been acknowledged (Desai & Lele, 2017; James, McKechnie & Swanberg, 2011; Jennings, 2000). The millennial problem, which refers to the set of ideas that the individuals born between 1975 and 2000 are ill-fit for the work environment (Lancaster & Stillman, 2002), is correlated with an ambiguity surrounding Generation Z; There is a lack of information about the generational groups born after Millienials, from 1995 to 2009. Therefore, ensuring an operationally functional work environment is believed to be problematic and difficult (DeLong, 2004; Siebert, 2006). The contemplated research intends to examine the values, work condition inclinations and preferred managerial style of Generation Z employees. The ultimate goal of the contemplated research is to develop a new conceptual framework or model that better describes the relationship of engagement between multi-generational organizations and Generation Z employees. The relevance of the contemplated research is that it undertakes a current global issue. Continued research on this phenomenon could benefit society as a whole, organizations of all sizes, governments and stakeholders in the future development of a multi-generational system of fruitful collaboration and engagement, whilst uncovering new information about Generation Z.
