Analysis of differences in expected employee care between generations X and Z

This bachelor's thesis aims to explore the differences in expected employee care between Generations X and Z, and to thoroughly analyse what each generation prefers in terms of benefits and corporate support. An integrated method combines an extensive literature review with primary data collected from a targeted questionnaire. It reveals the differing expectations and preferences of both generations in employment. The theoretical part of the thesis provides an in-depth exploration of the generational traits of each group, human resources care and characteristics, basic HR activities, employee compensation, employee motivation, various motivational theories, benefits and their understanding, performance evaluation, and current trends. The subsequent practical part analyses data from the primary quantitative questionnaire. The results are processed in tables and graphs, both collectively for both groups and individually. The questionnaire initially focuses on the characteristics of the respondents and then on their preferences regarding expected care. The survey found that there are differences in benefit preferences between the generations, which stem from their generational classification. To stabilize, improve, and maintain the performance of the given employees, it is necessary to prefer a different set of benefits for each of the two groups, which are specified at the end of the thesis.
