Money and Job Security: A Qualitative Study on Motivational Factors for Job Satisfaction in Generation Z of Bangladesh

Abstract

This qualitative case study looked at the views of Generation Z people in Bangladesh who were dissatisfied with their occupations, giving insight on the challenges associated with depression. The study sought to evaluate the influence of motivation on work satisfaction features and also Gen Z’s behavior and psychological health, with a particular emphasis on two critical components of job satisfaction: financial incentives and job security. The study used a purposive maximum variation sampling strategy to pick five volunteers aged 22 to 26 years from Khulna, Dhaka, and Chittagong in Bangladesh. Several data gathering approaches were used, including observation, in-depth case studies, and document analysis. The findings highlighted the considerable relationship between two key employment incentive factors—financial rewards and job security—and Generation Z’s character development, and also their behavioral and mental well-being. The findings of this study will help researchers gain a better grasp of Generation Z’s real-life job satisfaction experiences, especially those who are studying job satisfaction and behavioral analysis in this cohort.
