Generation Z Through the Prism of Management

The main theme of this article is to examine how the characteristics of Generation Z will be reflected when members of this generation are in leadership positions. The authors will touch on situations that have been experienced during growth and which have influenced the formation of the behavioural pattern of and established values of Generation Z. Emphasis will also be placed on communication and the way younger generations communicate. The authors of this article are interested in how this generation behaves in the workplace, while the central research problem is to evaluate how young people will behave in leadership positions. The aim of this article is to determine the characteristics and behaviour of Generation Z and how these characteristics and behavioural patterns will reflect in leadership positions. The exploratory method was used in the research, because it is still a relatively unexplored problem and it allows methodological deviations. A descriptive method was also used, on the basis of which the authors determined the current state or characteristics and already proven facts of Generation Z. The cognitions of the article highlight the discussion on how Generation Z will behave in leadership positions.
