Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyse the significance of monetary and non-monetary forms of motivation for the engagement and work performance of the study group comprising members of Generation Z, as well as to identify the motivators considered by the respondents to be the most effective. The study was conducted using a diagnostic survey method involving a questionnaire. The results indicate that, within the study group, significant importance is attached primarily to flexible working hours and job security. Among financial motivators, discretionary bonuses and profit-sharing were highly rated, which respondents associated with a sense of appreciation and influence on the organisation's operations. The results of the study may serve as a guide for employers in designing incentive schemes better suited to the expectations of Generation Z employees; however, due to the deliberate and non-random selection of the sample, they apply exclusively to the group of respondents surveyed.
