generation 'Z' as future doctors -results of research among final year students at medical universities in Poland. Ann Agric Environ Med.

Purpose:The main goal of the article is to identify the level of awareness of Z generation (representatives of the second-year students of master's studies of the University of Economics and Business in Wroclaw) regarding the structure of demand for specific professions and specialties in the labor market and to identify factors that have a decisive impact on retaining young employees in the company. Design/Methodology/Approach: The investigation involved the revision of relevant literature and conducting own research. The presented goal and research questions implied the need to select appropriate methods, techniques and research tools. The authors conducted their research using a questionnaire, which contained closed questions in the form of a disjunctive cafeteria with a 4-point scale. The questionnaire was followed by a metric, enabling the socio-demographic characteristics of the studied population. Then, as part of the adopted research methodology, the data analysis method was used. Due to the nominal nature of the variables, frequency and percentage statistics were used in the statistical study. The empirical part is based on the results of the survey conducted in the first quarter of 2020 on the sample of 271 representatives. Findings: The results showed that the youngest generation of employees aims for employment stability, they have an 'idea for themselves' that will allow them to meet the needs that are important to them. The findings should help managers in Polish companies not only understand young employees but also facilitate the orientation of the young Z's in the labor market in reaction to the existing working and employment conditions. Originality/Value: The research results shall contribute to the debate on the kind of employees the young people from Generation Z shall become and whether and how they shall differ from representatives of previous generations. It should be noted that there is a difference between what Generation Z declares and what they really need. Paradoxically, despite the great openness of Generation Z to changing their workplace, the vast majority of them is also looking for the security of having it.

Purpose:The article aims to recognize the meaning of professional work and work values which are particularly important to second year students of master's studies of the University of Economics and Business in Wroclaw who are representatives of Generation Z. Design/Methodology/Approach: The investigation involved the revision of relevant literature and conducting own research. The presented goal and research questions implied the need to select appropriate methods, techniques and research tools. The authors conducted their research using a questionnaire, which contained closed questions in the form of a disjunctive cafeteria with a 4-point scale. The questionnaire was followed by metric, enabling the socio-demographic characteristics of the studied population. Then, as part of the adopted research methodology, the data analysis method was used. Due to the nominal nature of the variables, frequency and percentage statistics were used in the statistical study. The empirical part is based on the survey results conducted in the first quarter of 2020 on 271 representatives. Findings: Definitely the described generation significantly differs from other generations in the labor market. Generation Z understands the role and importance of work in their lives in a completely different way, rather instrumental than autotelic. The research also provides that the Gen Z value system is based on striving to realize oneself, not necessarily in the work environment, but within the framework of their passions and interests. The findings should help Polish companies, leaders to understand Generation Z. Originality/Value: The research results shall contribute to the debate on what kind of employees the young people from Generation Z shall become and whether and how they shall differ from representatives of previous generations. It is difficult to evaluate the characteristics of the Generation Z representatives as they are just entering the labor market. Managers, however, need this knowledge to best prepare for their entering of the work environment.

The aim of this article is to propose a pioneering model of effective theatre management. In the light of the goal, the following thesis has been formulated: Effective management of a temple of art consists in the managing team consciously impacting the key theatre subsystems, taking into account its peculiarity and complexity. The goal and thesis led to the formulation of an explication-verification procedure of empirical studies with the following stages distinguished: selecting research techniques, carrying out pilot study, carrying out basic research, carrying out analysis of the empirical material obtained, and proposing a pioneering model of theatre management. The research procedure specified the scope-the research sample comprised six theatres which constituted the basis of inference, timing-study was conducted in the period from II quarter 2011 till end of 2013, space-territory of four provinces (mazowieckie, małopolskie, wielkopolskie, and dolnośląskie), and the subject matter. It comprised the diagnosis of the following subsystems: the management team's role and efficiency, quality management, work organization, and teamwork management. The pilot results induced the authors to analyze one more area-the organizational culture. In respective theatres, the following employees participated in the research: artistic team (directors, choreographer, stage designers, actors, soloists, and dancers) and administrative team (individuals responsible for performance production and stage attendants-sound engineers, gaffers, stage managers, prompters, and publicity, marketing, finance and personnel staff etc.). In order to get a careful and versatile description of the research question, the methodological triangulation rule was applied according to which the following research techniques were used: surveys, free interviews, individual and group interviews, participant observation, and organizational documents analysis. As final conclusions, the authors create an attempt of a pioneering model of effective management of a temple of art referring to empirical and theoretical parts of the text. The considerations presented in the study are of theoretical-empirical character based on management related literature and empirical studies. The study used a questionnaire, individual and group interviews.
