Authors: Kupczyk, Teresa; Gross-Gołacka, Elwira; Rupa, Piotr
Abstract: PURPOSE: The main objective of the research was to identify, analyse and diagnose the level
of fulfilment of expectations towards work/service and employer of Generation Z employees,
as well as the key factors influencing it.; DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In order to verify the hypotheses posed, the literature
analysis and critique method, the diagnostic survey method and statistical methods were
used. The study was conducted on the basis of a survey questionnaire, with a randomly
selected research sample of 2234 Generation Z people. Column proportions tests were used
to determine significant differences in responses between individuals with different
education, place of residence and experience in candidate military service. Relationships
between variables were tested using Pearson's linear correlation coefficient and also based
on the coefficient of the multiple regression model.; FINDINGS: The level of fulfilment of expectations towards work/service and employer of
Generation Z people is not high and is shaped by many factors. It has been found that the
higher the sense of fulfilment of expectations towards work/service and employer of
Generation Z people, the higher their motivation to work, willingness to comply with rules,
additional medical care, additional group insurance, higher commitment to work, higher
acceptance of the service hierarchy, greater gender equality in the organisation and their
higher level of coping with uncertainty/unpredictability.; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The practical business implications are mainly concerned with the
possibility for managers to use the findings in the process of managing Generation Z
employees.; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Education and experience in candidate military service were found to
significantly differentiate the fulfilment of job/service and employer expectations among
Generation Z.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZDigitizing public institutions on the example of the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) of GambiaSecka, JimWiśniewska, JoannaIsmailov, Ibrahim/library/oar/handle/123456789/1180062024-01-30T15:12:37Z2023-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Digitizing public institutions on the example of the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) of Gambia

understand factors that influence digitization in public institution. Due to its scientific
relevance, the secondary sources used mainly came from scientific journals. Staff of the
institution were also engaged in retrieving firsthand data as to key drivers and barriers of
digitalization in NAWEC.; FINDINGS: The findings show that National Water and Electricity Company is constraint with
numerous challenges in its digitalization ques. The challenges are handful, but the following
stand out, inadequate finance, inadequate skills(digital) personnel, and lack of modern
digital tools and equipment. Key to the drivers found include management such as the
decision-making structure of the organization, technology, and digitalization interest of
customers.; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: To support digitization, NAWEC must quickly adopt new processes,

digitization in the public sector has emerged to rethink existing processes and services and
create better user experiences for citizens and businesses, which are at the heart of these
efforts.; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: To support digitization, NAWEC must quickly adopt new processes,
