ABSTRACT
The analysis of work values and motivating factors of Generation Z in Poland, Portugal, and Latvia (on the sample n = 1195) are presented in the fourth chapter. The aim of this empirical investigation was to create a new instrument for measuring motivating factors and work values by updating the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire by adding new items related to the contemporary workplace and to test it in the selected European countries. Exploratory factor analysis found seven workplace-related value dimensions: achievement, supervision, comfort, altruism, independence, excitement, and technologies. Our results show that excitement and technologies are more important for younger generations.
