- Description
- In a world of constant change, organisations face demanding pressures and challenges. Now, more than ever, organisations need to optimise resources in maximising outcomes in order to maintain a competitive advantage. In doing so, it must be acknowledged that people remain the most valuable resource in achieving organisational success. This has led to a war for talent across and between organisations. In South Africa this situation is complicated for many reasons, including the fact that there is a skills shortage crisis faced in South Africa and because many experienced Baby Boomers are now reaching retirement age. This time is also marked by the entry of the newest member of the workforce, this being Generation Z. These considerations make it important for organisations to create relevant strategies to build and retain the organisational commitment of top talent, more specifically that of Generation Z. Organisational commitment is a key organisational consideration in driving employee behaviour and attitude through influencing performance, satisfaction, organisational citizenship and motivation. The aim of this study was to explore the factors influencing organisational commitment amongst Generation Z employees in the South African workplace. This is important in assisting organisations in developing and enhancing attraction and retention strategies for current and future talent.
