Abstract

Research suggests the current generation of learners (called Zoomers or Gen-Z) takes a values-driven approach to their careers. Increasingly, this generation seeks out workplaces that center issues of sustainability, social responsibility, diversity, equity and inclusion. The preferences of Gen-Z suggest that building business programs that focus on “the right work” are both relevant and necessary to meet the expectations of this generation. It is unsurprising, then, that leading business education associations like AACSB have placed emphasis on building education programs that have a positive societal impact. In this article, we outline our programmatic approach to help learners engage in the “right work” and to address calls for building business programs that engage in more responsible, ethical, and sustainable models of management education. In sharing our approach, we 1) emphasize the value of using a programmatic design to facilitate curricular change, and 2) demonstrate how transformative learning theory can provide a practical way of reenvisioning business programs that address the concerns of Zoomers.
转变学习者:帮助学生找到“合适工作”的程序化方法
研究表明,当前这一代学习者(被称为“zoom”或“Gen-Z”)在职业生涯中采取价值观驱动的方式。这一代人越来越多地寻求以可持续性、社会责任、多样性、公平和包容为中心的工作场所。z世代的偏好表明,建立专注于“正确工作”的商业项目,对于满足这一代人的期望既是相关的,也是必要的。因此,像AACSB这样的主要商业教育协会强调建立具有积极社会影响的教育项目就不足为奇了。在这篇文章中,我们概述了我们的程序化方法,以帮助学习者参与“正确的工作”,并呼吁建立更负责任、更道德、更可持续的管理教育模式的商业项目。在分享我们的方法时,我们1)强调使用程序化设计来促进课程变革的价值,2)展示变革学习理论如何提供一种实用的方法来重新设想解决缩放者关注的商业课程。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Management Education (JME) encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. The overriding question that guides the journal’s double-blind peer review process is: Will this contribution have a significant impact on thinking and/or practice in management education? Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area and any country so long as their primary focus is on learning and/or teaching issues in management or organization studies. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behavior and management, we are also interested in teaching and learning developments in related domains such as human resource management & labor relations, social issues in management, critical management studies, diversity, ethics, organizational development, production and operations, sustainability, etc. We are open to all approaches to scholarly inquiry that form the basis for high quality knowledge creation and dissemination within management teaching and learning.
