Abstract

The paper presents, in a comparative manner, four generations of individuals active on the labour market, focusing on their own subcultures. Briefly exposing the main characteristics of each generation, namely Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y and Generation Z, the paper emphasizes the values and work ethic of the latter. Individuals belonging to the Generation Z manifest a series of unique values and attitudes towards work, which might hinder their integration in the workplace if not correctly known. Their particular work values pose serious challenges to the management and leadership of any organisation, therefore managing the workforce belonging to Generation Z requires a proper understanding of their characteristics, attitude towards work, professional goals and expectations.
