Sažetak
Millennials are believed to be special in terms of their life and work values, which most often need to be aligned in order for them to feel accomplished. It was thus important to investigate the perceptions of different career aspects and expectations, especially in young students that will soon enter the workforce. As our research results revealed, most of respondents perceive promotion opportunities as the most important career aspect, however, job security and work-life balance are almost as important. It seems that the youngest generation is not ready to sacrifice their spare time for advancement in career, which is especially pronounced in the case of women. Managers and employers that are hiring either students or those that are about to graduate from college should take into consideration implications of these results. More precisely, as this generation is highly favours balance between work and life, flexible work arrangements might be an efficient way to think of job design. In term of hiring an in order to attract these individuals, it would be advisable to highlight the benefits that would be offered to employees (e.g. security benefits). Finally, it should be emphasized that this research was limited to second year students and that the perceptions of higher years students, as well as those individuals that are already at the job market, would be more than important to conduct in order to see if perceptions are changing as new experiences are gained.
