    Ladies and Gentlemen, greetings from Singapore; as a very mature and new PhD student I am reaching out for help from my peers within the AOM community, especially in the areas of HRM, OB and Psychology.

    The area of research focuses on generation "Z" (gen Z 1996 – 2010) who present new traits, preferences and expectations about the workplace which are, in many areas, different from that of the older working generations. Generation Z is eager to enter the workplace, learn skills and knowledge, join successful organisations and climb the corporate structure seeking, if not demanding the rewards as they progress. Organisations need to understand generation Z traits, preferences and expectations. The aim is to conduct comparisons between generation "Y" (millennials) and generation Z comparing like for like identifying and analysing apparent differences. Therefore, I am seeking assistance with the following:

    • Articles (published or non-published), or books around generation Z and the workplace in pdf or link.
    • Journal articles that identify generation Y and generation Z psychology traits.
    • Any framework/research being carried out or completed by others near this area.
    • Any thoughts or ideas that may help focus and direction.
    • Keywords.

     

    Everything received will be most welcome and very much appreciated.
