Abstract

This study responds to the call for a more nuanced understanding of intragenerational variations and provides a detailed insight into how men and women in Generation Z perceive work motivation. Unlike most prior studies with a similar focus, this study is qualitative, employing a specific method of empathy-based stories (MEBS) to capture the (de)motivators in Gen Z directly through their native point of view. On a sample of 437 business students, the vast majority of whom reported having work experience, results reveal that Gen Z women pay significantly more attention to social aspects of interpersonal relationships at the workplace, intrinsic factors of having a dream job, low levels of routine, experiencing job success, and an extrinsic need to receive recognition for the work done, while Gen Z men are more attentive to the altruistic factor of making a meaningful difference at work, extrinsic factor of benefits, and leisure-related aspects of happy personal life and no stress at work. Findings inform evidence-based motivation policies, which may help target more precisely recruitment and motivation programs in companies.
Z 世代女性和 Z 世代男性的工作(动力)是什么?年轻一代工作动力的性别差异比较研究
这项研究回应了对代际差异更细致理解的呼吁,并提供了Z世代男性和女性如何看待工作动机的详细见解。与之前大多数具有类似重点的研究不同,这项研究是定性的,采用了一种基于同理心的故事(MEBS)的具体方法,直接从Z世代的原生观点来捕捉(去)激励因素。在437名商学院学生的样本中,绝大多数人报告有工作经验,结果显示,Z世代女性更关注工作场所人际关系的社会方面,拥有理想工作的内在因素,低水平的例行公事,经历工作成功以及获得工作认可的外在需求,而Z世代男性更关注在工作中做出有意义的改变的利他因素。外在因素的好处,和休闲相关的方面,快乐的个人生活和没有压力的工作。研究结果为基于证据的激励政策提供了信息,这可能有助于更精确地针对公司的招聘和激励计划。
