Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to consolidate the literature on generation z employees at workplace. The literature though sporadic, has garnered increasing interest from both academicians as well as management practitioners. Using co-word analysis, a qualitative research method, nineteen peer-reviewed articles published during the years 2000 and 2019 were analyzed. This analysis extracts five major themes: Generation Z characteristics, Workforce expectations, prevenient generation characteristics, Inter-generational dynamics, and Workplace transformation. Potential research directions that lie at the intersection of these research themes are presented as a conclusion for future research.
