Diplomová práce

Abstract:

The current era is raising many questions about the future of work, particularly since the widespread adoption of telecommuting in the wake of the pandemic and the increasing integration of Generation Z into the job market. Studies demonstrate a growing quest for flexibility and a better work-life balance on the part of this young generation, a quest that seems to find satisfaction in the practice of telecommuting. Our qualitative exploratory study, based on interviews conducted with different generational and professional profiles, provide concrete recommendations for businesses seeking to navigate the new reality of the labour market. The results reveal that, although teleworking is valued across generations, the digital nativity of Generation Z and their entry into the labour market in a period of unprecedented flexibility and technological integration sets their expectations apart. In order to fully capture the benefits of teleworking while overcoming its challenges, companies need to adopt a balanced approach and consider appropriate strategies for maintaining commitment and corporate culture in a flexible working environment.
