Öz

Henüz birkaç senedir çalışma hayatına girmiş olan Z kuşağının sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik açıdan diğer kuşaklara nazaran farklılık içinde oldukları bilinmektedir. Bu sebeplerden Z kuşağı ile ilgili akademik çalışmalar da artış göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, istihdamda olan Z kuşağı bireylerinin kariyer yönlendirme tutumlarının kıyaslamalı olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Bu kapsamda Z ve Y kuşağının kariyer yönlendirme tutumları olarak kendi kendine yönlendirilen kariyer tutumları ve değerlere göre yönlendirilen kariyer tutumları analiz edilecektir. Veri toplama aracı olarak Briscoe ve diğerleri (2006)’nin geliştirmiş olduğu çok yönlü kariyer ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini İstanbul’da hizmet sektöründe çalışan Z kuşağı (N = 109) ve Y kuşağı olan (N = 210) kişiler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın analiz sonuçlarına göre; değerlere göre yönlendirilen kariyer tutumunda kuşaklar arası ve kadınlardaki kuşaklar arası anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur.
