Adapting to VUCA: An Exploratory Study on Talent Resilience in the IT Industry and Generation Z Workforce

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Information Technology (IT) industry, the confluence of a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment, coupled with the distinctive characteristics of Generation Z professionals, presents multifaceted challenges and opportunities.This exploratory study delves into the intricate interplay between the IT sector's dynamics, the VUCA challenges it encounters, and the unique attributes of Generation Z employees.Through an extensive review of existing literature, this research aims to dissect the nuanced intersections, shedding light on how Generation Z individuals navigate the complexities of the VUCA IT realm.By synthesizing insights from diverse studies, this research not only unveils the key traits of Generation Z professionals crucial in VUCA contexts but also examines the strategies and adaptations they employ to thrive in such environments.Additionally, this research identifies gaps in the current understanding of talent management strategies in the context of VUCA challenges faced by the IT industry and the unique dynamics of Generation Z employees, paving the way for future investigations and tailored organizational strategies.
