ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the methodological framework and key descriptive findings from a cross-country survey exploring Generation Z students' attitudes towards the “work from anywhere” (WFA) model. Conducted among 213 students from Poland, Czechia, and Estonia, the study investigates preferences regarding work arrangements, perceived benefits and challenges of WFA, essential competencies for remote work, and expectations of employer support. The results indicate that while hybrid work is the most preferred model, national contexts significantly influence openness to fully remote work. Estonian students exhibit the highest digital readiness and preference for autonomy, Polish students prefer structured hybrid environments with clear employer support, and Czech students hold a balanced view. Factors such as self-discipline, time management, and work-life balance emerged as central to the WFA experience. The chapter highlights how cultural background, digital infrastructure, and individual competencies intersect in shaping Generation Z's readiness for the future of flexible work.
