Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine what the Z generation employees conceptually understand from the term employer brand and their expectations from employer brand activities implemented in accommodation businesses. In the study, semi-structured interview, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred. The interview form was applied to the employees in the z generation who work in the accommodation sector as an internship or seasonally. The interviews with the employees in the Z generation were carried out face-to-face and online. During the interviews, 7 questions were asked to the employees. As a result of the interviews, content analysis was applied to the expressions obtained. As a result of the content analysis, seven themes were determined as employer brand perception, economic expectation, career expectation, corporate reputation expectation, working conditions expectation, social expectation and value expectation. Under 7 themes, the issues that employees pay attention to within the scope of employer brand are determined as codes. As a result of the study, suggestions for employer branding practices were presented.
