Description
Summary:The objective of the research was to describe the work expectations of Generation Z through the opinions of 492 participants who are currently pursuing their professional studies. The survey technique supported by digital media was used. A descriptive study was developed considering expectations about intrinsic, social, extrinsic rewards, job prestige, flexible employment and work-life balance. The results suggested the exclusion of expectations about flexible employment. Differences were found by sex in expectations about extrinsic rewards, and by area of ​​knowledge in expectations about intrinsic rewards. The attributes that Generation Z values ​​most in a boss are having good values ​​and good communication; and the qualities that stand out as important to be a good professional are behaving ethically, ability to learn and ability to relate.
