Rigid Model

Considerations contained in the article cover the issues of labor market leaving models and their evaluation by the representatives of two generations: one ending and the other beginning its professional activity. Consecutive parts of the article present brief characterizations of the generations under scrutiny (Baby Boomers and Generation Z), discuss the labor market leaving models that were the subject of evaluation (the rigid, flexible, and gradual models), and showcase the results of a survey carried out among 567 representatives of the two generations. An attempt was made to verify the research hypothesis on the basis of the survey results. That hypothesis assumed the existence of differences in the evaluation of labor market leaving models by representatives of Baby Boomers and Generation Z and posited that representatives of Generation Z rate the flexible and gradual models higher than representatives of the Baby Boomer generation, while the Baby Boomer generation rates the rigid model higher than Generation Z.

Different Characteristics

We are witnessing a generational change in the labor market. The baby boomer generation is replaced by the representatives of the Z generation. The different environment in which they grew up, especially the technology advancing over several decades, has resulted in these generations having completely different characteristics. The conditions of a given generation influence the needs and expectations in private and professional life. This becomes a challenge for employers who have to adjust workplaces to their needs. Moreover, the working atmosphere can be an important factor in the employer's competitiveness in the labor market. Literature studies have shown that although there are many studies on Generation Y (preceding), there are few studies describing Generation Z in the labor market, thus creating a research gap. The purpose of this study was to analyze companies operating in Poland in terms of adapting their workplaces to the Z generation. The main focus of the study are issues related to a friendly atmosphere in the office, the latest technology, ambassador programs, internships and apprenticeships, benefit packages, onboarding and CSR. According to research enterprises make changes in order to adapt to generation Z, however, they do not manifest them excessively. Firms and organizations should consider development report on adjustments to generational change in the labor market.

Generation Z

For successful interaction and communication to occur in organizations, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of each generation and what motivates them to be successful and good employees. In an organization, many of the employees' values and attitudes towards work can be quite different from previous generations, and managers need to take these generational differences into account in order to effectively manage the workforce. Strauss and Howe (1991) identified eighteen generations throughout four centuries of American history, dating back to the first New World colonizers. In this study, the differences in working orientations and attitudes between generations within the scope of the Traditional Generation, Baby Boomer Generation, X Generation, Y Generation and Z Generation, which are the generations that affect / will affect today's working life, are discussed. After explaining what kind of environment these generations were born into and how they were affected by social, economic and environmental conditions, it was examined how these generations achieved unity in their working environments. It has been contributed to the recognition of Generation Z by their managers and colleagues, who have just entered or will enter the labor market, and to learn what kind of working group they are/will be faced with, and suggestions are made for the future labor markets.

Baby boomers are defined as the demographics born during post-World War II between the years 1946 and 1965. As of 2016, boomers are in their 50s and 60s. As a group, they are interested in pursuing a healthy lifestyle and are willing to invest time and money in maintaining healthy bodies. Yoga, a mind body practice, is an appealing option for this group. A current U.S. national study showed that yoga practitioners over the age of 49 are the second largest group comprising 38% of the yoga practitioners. However, the boomer yoga practitioners do not have many choices when it comes to shopping for yoga wear. Manufacturers of active wear produce the same yoga wear for individuals regardless of age, even though the baby boomer market has different clothing needs and garment design preferences. This study explored baby boomers’ clothing needs and preferences in yoga wear.

The Impact

Recent advancements in technology have enabled relatively young organisations to grow at a speed, and to a scale, that enables them to reach a comparable level of employer brand equity and make them as attractive to work for as much more established firms. As a result, traditional luxury organisations compete against younger, non-luxury companies for talent that might have been considered easier to attract previously. The presented study explores differences between the meaning of an attractive employment proposition for leaders from two generations of Baby Boomers and Millennial and brings forwards recommendations for attracting and sustaining leadership talent in the luxury retail sector. The study builds on the existing literature about the impact of generational differences on management practices, within the specific industry context. The results highlight misalignment in perceptions between older generation of current leaders (Baby Boomers) and younger generation of future leaders (Millennials) in the sector.
