Establishing balance between professional and private life of generation z

Abstract

Achieving balance between life and work is an elusive ideal and considered to be a complete myth. But by making deliberate choices about which opportunities they will pursue and which they’ll decline, rather than simply reacting to emergencies, leaders can and do engage meaningfully with work, family, and community.As the world population is aging, consequently this issue imposes implication on human resource management in organizations. Generation Z is preparing to enter the labor market and managers will be facing new challenges in coping with generational differences.In that light, the main goal of this paper is to understand the main aspects of work –life balance and stressing the practical aspects of future professionals in the struggle to face a satisfied professional and personal life, mainly focusing on the newest generation Z.The main method used for gathering data for the purpose of this research is a questionnaire distributed among a population of students which are part of the generation Z.
