Abstract
Generation represents a group of people of the same age who experience similar social events in a similar social position. Generation theory generally emphasizes that each generation has its own features and characteristics. Generations differ from each other in terms of the characteristics, values, beliefs, interests and expectations of the members of each generation. These differences between generations cause that people working in the workplaces differ from each other in terms of leadership, attitudes and behaviours, and if this situation is not managed well, it leads to negative consequences for businesses. Gen Z, which represents a generation born from the mid-1995s to the early 2010s, differs significantly from other generations in terms of their unique individual characteristics and workforce qualities. Gen Zers will represent a significant part of the labor market in the coming years. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the destinies of many Gen Z members, who have just begun to enter the labor market in recent years, towards their business lives. During the pandemic process, many Gen Z employees have been laid off more than other generations, their job interviews and internships have been cancelled, and they have faced situations such as reduced salaries and working hours, unhappiness, anxiety, depression and stress. Therefore, understanding the qualifications of Gen Z in the workforce and the effects of the pandemic on the business life of Gen Z individuals are of great importance for the present and future success of the businesses. For all these reasons, this study aims to reveal the characteristics of the Gen Z individuals in the labor market, especially in the tourism sector, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the business life of Gen Z, through a traditional literature review, which is one of the exploratory research types. In this context, the research focused on the qualifications of Gen Z employees in the workforce, especially in the tourism sector, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Gen Z employees, and the findings obtained from the whole study were summarized in the results section and various suggestions were made on the subject.
