Exploring HRM practices to retain generation-Z in information technology sector: a systematic literature review

Deloitte consultancy firm has forecasted that the working world is expecting 75% of total world workforce could be generated from millennials and Generation-Z (Gen-Z) by 2025. Thus, a past researcher like Jacob Morgan has stated that Gen-Z individuals who were born after 1994 are quite different from the millennials who were born from 1975 to 1994. Therefore, a proper retention mechanism is needed in order to address the behaviours and expectations of the Gen-Z. The research question of how conventional Human Resources Management (HRM) practices should be amended as per the desires of the Gen-Z is very critical, therefore, the values or modifications should be added into the HRM practices such as power distribution, team constructing, job stress mitigation, performance management, and training and developments to increase the attractiveness for the Gen-Z people to work with satisfied manner. Besides, HRM practices would improve the productivity of the organization and increase the benefits to the employees and reduce employees’ intention to leave the organization. Adopting an explanatory sequential research design under the basis of pragmatic world-view research approach to further evaluate the conceptual framework illustrated could compose the suitability to the real-world implementation process of the outcome in this paper.
