Abstract: Generation Z is the biggest upcoming workforce in the business world. Yet, their characteristic, attributes and work style preferences are still not researched enough. The aim of this paper is to investigate further the relationship between performance feedback and generation Z’s internal motivation. The impact of different types of feedback was observed through an experiment, based on the Al Hirschfeld hidden-word drawings. Experiment was divided into three feedback type groups: positive, negative and non-existent feedback group. There was a total of 60 participants, the average age of participant was 20, age 17 being the youngest and 26 the oldest. Results show that there is no significant impact of feedback on generation Z’s motivation. Furthermore, generation Z tends to connect closely their task enjoyment and interest with their own task-accomplishment. Implications for supervisors (employers, teachers, parents) of generation Z involve providing interesting and facile tasks in order to keep them motivated and interested.
