Özet:

 Three generations are actively involved in todays organizations and business life, and individuals from Generation Z are expected to enter business life. For this reason, organizations are researching how to manage different generations of individuals, especially Generation Z. Answers are sought to what motivates individuals in Generation Z and their expectations from business life. This study aims to determine the basic motivation sources of individuals in Generation Z and to examine whether motivation sources differ according to gender. For this purpose, the Basic Motivation Sources TMK scale developed by Antalyalı and Bolat 2017 was used to measure the basic motivation sources of the participants. The sample of the research consists of 664 students studying at Süleyman Demirel and Isparta Applied Sciences Universities. The survey method was preferred in the research, and independent sample t-tests and descriptive statistics were used. As a result of the study, it was determined that the main motivational sources of individuals in Generation Z are affiliation, followed by achievement, coginition, and power. In the study, significant differences were also detected in terms of achievement, power, and affiliation dimensions of basic motivational sources according to gender.

 Günümüz örgütlerinde ve iş hayatında üç kuşak aktif olarak yer almakta olup Z kuşağı bireylerinde iş hayatına girmesi beklenmektedir. Bundan dolayı başta Z kuşağı olmak üzere farklı kuşak bireylerin nasıl yönetileceği örgütler tarafından araştırılmaktadır. Z kuşağında yer alan bireyleri nelerin motive ettiğine ve iş yaşamından beklentilerine cevap aranmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Z kuşağını oluşturan bireylerin temel motivasyon kaynaklarını belirlemek ve cinsiyete göre motivasyon kaynaklarının farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, katılımcıların temel motivasyon kaynaklarını ölçmek maksadıyla Antalyalı ve Bolat 2017ın geliştirmiş olduğu Temel Motivasyon Kaynakları TMK ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, Süleyman Demirel ve Isparta Uygulamalı Bilimler Üniversitelerinde öğrenim gören 664 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada anket yöntemi tercih edilmiş olup bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve betimsel istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Z kuşağına dahil bireylerin temel motivasyon kaynaklarının bağlanma olduğu, onu sırasıyla başarı, düşünme ve güçün takip ettiği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca temel motivasyon kaynaklarının başarı, güç ve bağlanma boyutları açısından cinsiyet değişkenine göre anlamlı farklılıklar da tespit edilmiştir.
