Abstract

The youngest generation, known as Generation Z (Gen Z), is slowly but surely making its way into the workforce. More members of Gen Z are completing college education, and they are entering the next phase of their lives in which they will make up the vast majority of the upcoming workforce. Having grown up in a world dominated by technology, members of Gen Z bring a unique set of traits to the workplace. Employers should recognise the talent of this generational group and provide them with challenging and rewarding jobs. The purpose of this study is to analyse how HR practices affect this generation. Google Forms were used to administer questions in this quantitative investigation. Models were put to the test using data from 1419 members of India's working-age Gen Z population. SmartPLS 3 Software was used to analyse the data. It was observed that HR practices of organisations positively impact the retention of Gen Z employees, and that work motivation significantly mediates the relationship between HR practices and employee retention.
