Motivating employees is a crucial factor in the use and development of human resources and their focus on achieving organizational goals, increasing satisfaction, retaining quality people, encouraging creativity, and eliminating all forms of counterproductive behavior. Through a series of activities, managers can increase individual development needs, making the objective situation more demanding. Through the example of the generation we paid attention to, Generation Y (1981 - 2000) is often called Millennials and Generation Z, which enters the labor market as the youngest, after millennials. The task of human resource managers is to make each member feel involved in organizational culture in the right way and to feel valued. Therefore, a multicriteria approach based on the application of PIvot has been applied in this paper Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment - PIPRECIA method. A detailed review of the literature defines a list of factors and relevant subfactors evaluated by three Generation Y decision-makers and three Generation Z decision-makers. The obtained results are relevant and authoritative, thus unequivocally confirming the usefulness and applicability of the proposed approach.

Human resources, as a sector of great importance for the successful operation of an organization, is always a current topic that needs to be researched and studied. The application of multi-criteria decision-making methods in assessing the importance of factors that have an impact on the selection of candidates in various sectors is one of the ways to improve and make a more authoritative and precise decision. In this paper, a multi-criteria approach based on the PIvot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment - PIPRECIA method was applied. A detailed review of the literature defined a list of aspects and corresponding factors that were evaluated by four sectors from each sector by three decision makers, more precisely by the twelfth decision maker. The obtained results are relevant and authoritative, and thus the usefulness and applicability of the proposed approach, in evaluating the mentioned aspects of cognitive skills and their importance, have been unequivocally confirmed. The main goal of this paper is to indicate the usefulness of the application of multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) in the implementation of this type of analysis.
