Abstract

The entry of a new generation into the work cycle always raises anxieties and expectations. This article analyzes a number of aspects of the characteristics of generation Z (born between 1995-2010) who have begun their integration into the world of work. This article attempts to understand the intergenerational gap and its implications for the world of work. It is noticeable that the technological component is the most central factor affecting generation Z characteristics and the implication of this will also affect the future working world. This work presents a quantitative study based on a focus group methodology, conducted by the author about the entry of generation Z into the work circle in Israel as well as a comparison with findings in world literature. It was found that in Israel there is a new trend of moving to short professional studies in place of academic studies seen as too long and irrelevant to success in the world of work. This study forms the basis for further studies connected to managers’ and organizations’ views in preparation for generation Z’s entry.
