Attitude of generation Z to business life and perspectives on the internship programs in corporate firms

Today's global business expectations are changing by keeping up with the rapidly changing world. In this respect, different business areas take shape and the competencies expected from the recruited people also diversify. Therefore, it is more important for organizations to find individuals with high potential to recruit and keep them within the company. Generation Z has now been added next to the X and Y generations, which cover the largest part of the business world. Although it is not clear how this generation will affect the business world, many researches have been made on this subject and are still being interpreted in this context. The purpose of this research is to understand the perspective of Generation Z towards the business world and their expectations from the organization which they will work with. The universe of the research embraces the university students between the ages of 18 and 21. An online questionnaire was applied to gather information from the participants and the results were analyzed with the Pearson Chi-Square Test program. Within the scope of the study, the findings were also examined according to age and gender factors, and it is thought that certain factors may differ according to gender. However, it is possible to say that there are no definite differences between the Z group participants whose peers are very close to each other.
