Abstract

Generation Z is entering the job market and understanding its values is important to dimension the workspace in their lives, as well as the social expectations associated with it. This issue is relevant for organizations to develop specific attraction and engagement policies, since the values related to generation Z work are distinct from previous generations. This article describes the influence of work-related values on the future for generation Z members. It performed a descriptive quantitative research, Survey type, with 224 young people in school age and who are not yet in the labor market. Among the results, the influence of values linked to stability, diversity at work, and authentic social relationships is evident in the expectation of the future of these young people. It was also observed that the prestige has a negative influence on the expectation of the future, indicating the search for horizontal relations oriented on social transformation.
