一项针对7000多名Z世代员工的职场态度的调查发现，这个年龄段的人把自己的情感幸福和职业发展放在首位，对友好的工作文化提出了更高的标准，并希望将自己的职业与自己的兴趣相匹配。
-
雇主应该尝试更好地理解年轻工人想要表达的东西，因为中国在后科维德时代面临着不稳定的复苏，年轻成年人中逐渐上升的失业率仍然是中国最大的挑战之一。

由于经济不稳定和缺乏讨价还价的能力，Z世代的一些成员最终可能会容忍工作场所的虐待行为，就像老一代人更容易做的那样。

A survey of more than 7,000 Gen Z employees on their workplace attitudes found that this age group was prioritising their emotional well-being and career development, setting higher standards for friendly work cultures and hoping to match their career with their interests.
-
Employers should try to better understand what young workers are trying to express, as China faces an unsteady recovery in its post-Covid era and the gradually rising unemployment rate among young adults remains one of the country’s greatest challenges.
-
Some members of Gen Z may end up tolerating mistreatment in the workplace, as older generations were more prone to do, due to the economic instability and lack of bargaining power.
-
Roselyn Wang, who works for a newspaper in Nantong, Jiangsu province, said she tried to set boundaries at work by writing in her WeChat bio that she might not respond to messages after 11pm, but her supervisors ignore this and still contact her.
-
Some young Chinese people said the trend of Gen Z workers talking back to their bosses is nothing more than sensationalised, internet-fuelled stigma that can end up being harmful.
-
Every generation has its own values and priorities, and Gen Z’s attitudes towards work may come as a surprise to the generations of workers before them, but their contributions to the shift in work culture should not be neglected.
