Gen Z - the generation that demands change in the office environment
Anphabe believes that Gen Z no longer accepts ineffective leaders and managers.
According to a survey by Anphabe Company, Gen Z is now ready to " given up" an unfair, unstructured working environment that is not suitable for the value of employees.
Gen Z grew up in the context of economic instability, social justice movements and increasing interest in mental health. They not only want jobs but also want a working environment that promotes psychological safety, transparency and fairness.
However, many companies still maintain an outdated management mindset - a rigid system of levels, unclear expectations and an uncertain career development roadmap. If leaders lack transparency, delay response or unfairness, Gen Z will not be reluctant and silently endure it.
Traditional leadership models are no longer suitable for Gen Z
Leadership models that were effective with the previous generation are no longer suitable today. Take the example of transformational leadership - focusing on vision and motivation. It sounds attractive but lacks the psychological safety that Gen Z wants. Service leadership - emphasizing concern for employees, can also fail if there is a lack of structure and clarity.
Gen Z not only needs an inspiring leader, they need fairness, clear expectations, and leaders who truly listen. When these factors are absent, indifference is inevitable.
Enthusiastic and cohesive leadership model: fair, organizational
According to Anphabe Company, the leadership model helps retain and motivate Gen Z by focusing on three essential factors:
- Effectiveness: Leaders who are truly caring and sympathetic will build trust and psychological safety. Employees will be more connected when they feel appreciated, not only as a worker but also as a human being.
- Fairness: Gen Z expects fairness in promotion, salary and development opportunities. If they feel biased or lack transparency, they will lose motivation.
- structure: Gen Z needs clarity in expectations, consistent feedback, and a transparent decision-making process to eliminate ambiguity that leads to disappointment. Note that structure does not mean rigidity - but synchronization.
In short, Gen Z does not silently quit their jobs, they proactively choose a place to invest their energy. If the leader refuses to change, the indifference of employees is not an un beghaifable thing but an inevitable consequence. But for companies that promote kindness, fairness and structure, Gen Z not only stays but also thrive.
