Критический обзор исследований отношения к работе поколения Z в Китае

В настоящее время во всем мире проведено сравнительно мало эмпирических исследований, посвященных поколению Z, а имеющиеся исследования, хотя и информативны, приводят к различным, часто противоречивым заключениям. Между тем уже сейчас поколение Z вступает в трудоспособный возраст, и важно понимать специфику его ценностей и культурную ориентацию для того, чтобы смягчить конфликты между поколениями на рабочих местах и обеспечить эффективную деятельность предприятия или организации. Китай является растущей сверхдержавой, и влияние поколения Z этой страны будет чувствоваться на глобальном уровне, что обуславливает значимость его изучения. В статье проведен критический анализ текущих эмпирических исследований поколения Z в кросс-культурном контексте и предложены новые направления исследований по проблеме смены поколений в Китае и других странах вне Запада. Только благодаря лучшему пониманию поколения Z организации смогут разрабатывать стратегию и политику с учетом потребностей и перспектив этого нового поколения, что позволит обеспечить продуктивную, прибыльную среду и межпоколенческое сотрудничество в будущем.
