Resumen

This study aims to determine Gen Z's intention to choose a working environment under the influence of their views on living and working. Some of the main motivations included in the test were those driven by Personal growth, Financial benefits, Psychological influence, and Social concerns. Results from 1073 responses from students born in 2000-2003 show that the majority of them choose to work for a foreign company based in the country with a balanced lifestyle between work and life. The main motives leading to this choice are self-development, a secure income, as well as the impact of peer pressure. This study has provided empirical evidence for educators and national administrators in formulating strategies to train high-quality human resources to meet labor market needs; simultaneously, with solutions to attract human resources for the country's internal and sustainable development. This research has contributed to enriching the theoretical array of Generation Z in a developing country, and the issue of labor quality in domestic and foreign units.
