Towards the global vision of engagement of Generation Z at the workplace: Mathematical modeling
This addresses workplace engagement issues for Generation Z employees, but it is incremental as it applies standard methods to new survey data.
The paper analyzed Generation Z workplace engagement surveys using correlation and cluster analyses, identifying clear responsibilities and challenging work as key factors, and suggested these results can improve motivational systems for this demographic.
Correlation and cluster analyses (k-Means, Gaussian Mixture Models) were performed on Generation Z engagement surveys at the workplace. The clustering indicates relations between various factors that describe the engagement of employees. The most noticeable factors are a clear statement about the responsibilities at work, and challenging work. These factors are essential in practice. The results of this paper can be used in preparing better motivational systems aimed at Generation Z employees.
