Povzetek

O vodenju obstaja veliko tuje in domače literature, vendar pa vodenje kot funkcija managementa vedno znova odpira nova, neraziskana področja, še posebej v današnjem hitro spreminjajočem se času. Eno takih področij so delovne vrednote in stil vodenja prihajajoče generacije Z, ki smo ga raziskali v magistrski nalogi. Magistrsko delo zajema teoretični in praktični del. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili pomembno vlogo vodenja kot funkcije managementa. Vodenje je opredeljeno z več teorijami, kjer večina avtorjev deli vodenje glede na štiri glavne perspektive preučevanja vodenja: teorije lastnosti vodij, vedenjske teorije vodenja, kontingenčne oz. situacijske teorije in novejši modeli vodenja. Glede na posamezne teorije vodenja razlikujemo različne stile vodenja, pri čemer v literaturi izstopajo avtokratski, demokratični oz. participativni in permisivni stil vodenja. Med novejšimi modeli vodenja sta izpostavljena transakcijsko vodenje in transformacijsko vodenje. Ker pa mora vodja za uspešno vodenje poleg stilov vodenja obvladati še tri temeljne elemente vodenja – komunikacijo, motivacijo in vodenje skupine, smo tudi te podrobno preučili v teoretičnem delu magistrskega dela. Za uspešnost vsake organizacije je pomembno, da se osredotoči na svoje zaposlene in zna upravljati s hitro spreminjajočo se delovno silo. Vsak uspešen vodja mora dobro poznati tudi potrebe, lastnosti in delovne vrednote svojih zaposlenih vseh generacij, saj le tako lahko uspešno vpliva na sodelavce, da opravijo delo, ki je potrebno za doseganje ciljev organizacije. Raziskali smo značilnosti in vrednote generacije X, Y in Z ter primerjali delovne vrednote zadnjih dveh generacij. Organizacije so bile dolgo osredotočene na ugotavljanje, kako pritegniti in razvijati delovno silo milenijcev, a na delovni trg že vstopa naslednja generacija zaposlenih – tj. generacija Z. Večina generacije Z se še sicer izobražuje, vendar si jih veliko že pridobiva prve delovne izkušnje. Ker nas je zanimalo, kakšni bodo pripadniki generacije Z kot vodje in odgovora v obstoječi literaturi in raziskavah nismo našli, smo naredili terensko raziskavo. Z anketo smo preverili delovne vrednote in vodstvene preference bodočih vodij generacije Z skozi prizmo elementov vodenja – stili vodenja, komunikacija, motivacija in skupinsko delo. Temeljne ugotovitve magistrskega dela so, da obstajajo pomembne razlike v delovnih vrednotah med generacijama Y in Z, vodje generacije Z bodo dale prednost participativnem stilu vodenja, zaposlene bodo motivirali predvsem z uporabo sodobnih pristopov, pri komunikaciji ne bodo težili k uporabi sodobne informacijske tehnologije in ne bodo vzpodbujali skupinskega dela. Na koncu raziskovalnega dela naloge smo komentirali ugotovitve in podali predloge za prakso.

Sekundarni naslov:	Work values and leadership style of generation Z
Sekundarni povzetek:	There is a lot of studied domestic and foreign studies and literature on leadership, but leadership, as a function of management, is constantly opening up new, unexplored areas, especially in today's rapidly changing times. One such area is the work values and leadership style of the next generation, which we explored in the master's thesis. The master's thesis includes a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, we presented the important role of leadership as a function of management. Leadership is defined by several theories, where most authors divide leadership according to four main perspectives of the study of leadership: theories of leadership characteristics, theories of leadership behavior, contingency or. situational theories and newer management models. According to individual theories of leadership, we distinguish between different styles of leadership, with autocratic, democratic or participatory and permissive leadership style. Recent management models include transactional management and transformation management. However, because a leader for successful leadership, in addition to leadership styles, must master 3 other elements of leadership - communication, motivation and group leadership, and we are well acquainted with these, we also studied these in detail in the theoretical part of the master's thesis. It is important for the success of any organization to focus on its employees and to be able to manage a rapidly changing workforce. Every successful leader must also have a good knowledge of the needs, characteristics and work values of his employees of all generations, because only in this way can he successfully influence employees to do the necessary work to achieve the goals of the organization. We researched the characteristics and values of Generation X, Y and Z, and compared the working values of the last two generations. Organizations have long focused on figuring out how to attract and develop the millennial workforce, but the next generation of workers, Generation Z, is already entering the labor market. Because we were interested in what the members of Generation Z would look like as leaders, and because we did not find the answer in the existing literature and research, we did a field research. The survey examined the work values and leadership preferences of future leaders of Generation Z through the prism of leadership elements - leadership style, communication, motivation and teamwork. The basic findings of the master's thesis are that there are important differences in work values between generations Y and Z, that leaders of generation Z will give preference to participatory leadership style, that they will primarily motivate employees by using modern approaches, that they will not strive to use modern information technology in communication and that they will not encourage teamwork. At the end of the research part of the thesis, we commented the findings and made suggestions for practice.
