“…The study also revealed that Gen Z teachers' work values positively affect their job motivation, job satisfaction, and performance. This finding supports the findings of Said, Zaidee, Zahari, Ali, & Salleh (2015) that job performance is positively correlated with job motivation and satisfaction. This implies that if school leaders and managers would employ strategies that cater to the work values of Gen Z teachers, it may result in increased motivation, satisfaction, and performance of the teachers.…”

Being a leader or a manager in today’s organizations has become even more challenging due to increased workplace generational diversity. Gen Z teachers belong to the newest generation who have officially joined the workforce, making schools home to four different generations with unique work values. As more generations of teachers enter the workforce, one-size-fits-all management and leadership style becomes no longer applicable. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the school leaders and managers to better understand how to effectively lead and manage these generations to create an appropriate working environment that will facilitate the growth of every teacher. The main objective of this study was to explore the work values of Gen Z teachers using the phenomenological approach of qualitative inquiry. It employed a semi-structured interview as the primary data collection procedure conducted with seven purposively chosen teachers and thematic analysis to determine the themes. The study revealed that Gen Z teachers give importance to both intrinsic and extrinsic work values. They value personal skills development, professional growth and development, personal achievement and recognition, healthy working relationships, teamwork, collaboration in the workplace, work-life balance, and job and financial security. The study further revealed that Gen Z teachers’ work values positively affect their job motivation, job satisfaction, and performance. This suggests that if the organization implements policies and strategies that coincide with the work values of its Gen Z teachers, teachers will most likely perform well because they are motivated and satisfied with their job. With these findings, it is recommended that school leaders and managers should consider Gen Z teachers’ work values in crafting school policies and management strategies.

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of the Human Resources Development (HRD) on the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kosovo. There is a large volume of research that support the positive relationship between HRD and the organizational performance. Most of such research was conducted in the developed countries and to a lesser extent in the developing countries (countries in transit). Through this study we confirmed the impact of the investments in various forms of HRD in the performance of the SMEs in Kosovo. This study provides empirical data that support the impact of training and development, career development and motivation of employees on organizational performance, but the results of this study do not support the impact of the education of entrepreneurs on the organizational performance.

“…The implication of this study suggested that a comfortable workplace environment helped to create a sense of belonging towards the organization, therefore encouraging the academic staff to be committed and perform well at work. The study by Said, Zaidee, Zahari, Ali, and Salleh (2015) focused on the relationship between three motivational predictors such as individual needs, personal preferences, and work environment on employee job performance. A total of 169 non-academic staff in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Terengganu were selected randomly as the respondents to answer a questionnaire consisting of three different sections; (A) demographic questions, (B) dependent variable and (C) independent variables.…”
