Your supervisor has asked you to conduct research on issues regarding employees from Generation Z. For example, she mentions that Generation Z individuals may have different expectations of the work environment from those of workers from older generations. In addition, she mentions that Generation Z has different habits with regard to their use of technology than workers from older generations exhibit.
The instructions you have been given by your supervisor are quite broad. But let us assume that this is the directive you have been given.
For this reason, you will conduct a very general search on Generation Z and their work or technology habits. You are not quite sure how to focus the topic, but you know that you would like to pursue this general topic and focus it later.
Your tasks to complete in your response to this topic:
1. Search on some terms and find four articles on this topic. Your search can be quite broad at this stage. Try to use some search phrases that require that you use quotation marks. Please write the topic on which you searched and the search terms you used to search on it as part of your response to Task #1.
2. Find four articles related to the topic, please write titles of the four articles and the journals in which they appeared.
3. Conduct a NEW search on a phrase related to your major or to a workplace topic of interest to you. Make sure to use quotation marks around the phrase you search on.
-What phrase(s) did you search on?
-How many search results do you get?
4. Then, using the SU-subject terms option from the drop-down menu for one of your search rows.
-How many search results do you find after limiting the search by using SU-subject terms?
5. Finally, locate the research guide for your major. If you have not declared a major yet, please select one that interests you from the options from the drop-down menu.
