“…Inspired by the work of Dhinakaran [6], it is necessary to change the physics curriculum in primary and secondary schools as well as in the training of future physics teachers. The changes are meant to reflect changes in society and integrate political and social issues such as climate change or the credibility of the media in the education of Generation Z, which Generation Z cares about.…”

Physics is taught in our schools based on paradigms formulated in previous decades. Teachers and other experts pay great attention to innovations in content and methods, responding to new trends in pedagogy, psychology and physics itself. Despite these efforts, it is unable to overcome a fundamental problem, namely the lack of interest in physics on the part of students in primary and secondary schools and, as a consequence, lack of interest in the profession of physics teacher. In this article, we focus on one of the possible causes of such a situation, consisting of insufficient knowledge of the student, his needs and characteristics in the current period.

“…The target generations were born in a market where online shopping is common. These young people process the information they receive up to five times faster than previous generations (Dhinakaran et al, 2020). In this context, representatives of generation X is easily adapt to changes but show a little predisposition to digital tools to make their purchases (Zemke et al, 1999).…”

“…On the other hand, millennials feel very comfortable with technology to perform all their activities, in addition to developing the ability to search for information and make good online purchases, feeling safe when shopping in web environments (Cavazos-Arroyo & Máynez-Guaderrama, 2022). Generation Z, or centennials, grew up immersed in the internet and its applications looking for quick actions and immediate results; they are owners of the internet and social media using their technological gadgets (Dhinakaran et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to analyze the mediation effect of subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on the linkage between online consumer attitude and online purchase decisions of generation X, generation Y (millennials), and generation Z (centennials) in developing countries, particularly Peru. This empirical investigation surveyed 121 respondents of generation X, 200 millennials, and 200 centennials in Peru. The data were processed through structural equation modeling approach. This study demonstrates that online consumer attitude positively and significantly influences online purchase decisions; this relationship is enhanced through the mediation effect of subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. Furthermore, the results indicate that the effect of the proposed variables is improved progressively in each generation, showing a greater willingness of centennials to purchase online, followed by millennials and generation X. This study assessed online consumer attitudes of different generations in Peru toward the online purchase decisions and the mediation effect of subjective norms and perceived behavior control on the mentioned relationship, which showed improved results when incorporated into a single model.

“…This stems from the fact that there are few representatives of generation Z in the job market, and their professional experience is limited. Many publications released so far have focussed on the characteristics of these individuals in the context of, i.a., communication [71,72] and teaching methods [71,[73][74][75][76][77]. However, subjects related to the generation entering the employment market and its professional and environmental values are relatively rarely considered, especially in the context of gender [78,79].…”

“…It should be emphasised that the provided birth year ranges are of an arbitrary nature, and the literature on the subject contains various classifications [71]. Due to the subject matter considered in the article, based on the literature review, the authors assumed that generation Z includes individuals born after 1995 [50,60,87].…”

Applying the principles of sustainable development is an element of building the image of an organisation as an employer. The opinions of young people commencing their professional career in this regard may prove important for companies. The aim of this article is to identify a dependence between generation Z’s opinions on employer branding measures based on sustainable development taken by companies and the respondents’ gender. The article presents the results of primary research conducted on a sample of 291 students of higher education institutions in Poland. The methods include questionnaire surveys and statistical data processing. The results of the research suggest that sustainable development measures undertaken by employers increase the candidates’ motivation to apply for a job in the organisation. The analysis demonstrated that generation Z’s opinions on sustainable development activities carried out by employers and on the significance of employer branding are dependent on the respondents’ gender. The main conclusion is that women are more ecologically oriented than men, and following a sustainable development strategy is more important for them. Companies building employer branding should consider the adoption of various factors identified in the article, such as the Employee Value Proposition (EVP), especially when their workforce is gender-diverse.
