The characteristics of a certain generation, as well as individuals, indicate the path they want to take within the company so that a good leader can enable them to grow and develop and keep them, without diminishing the value of other team members or organizations. Balancing between the above and adjusting leadership depending on the situation looking at the employee and the task is the main challenge of today’s leaders. Adjusting the leadership style in accordance with the competencies and dedications of their associates, choosing a leadership style that is appropriate to the situation, is called situational leadership. Research to date suggests that leaders who adapt their styles to situations depending on generational preferences in their time are more likely to have a positive impact on task solving and team success. The aim of this thesis is to examine the preferences of members of Generation Z towards situational leadership. Because of their age, Generation Z, as the youngest in the job market, is ambitious, agile and enthusiastic. Employers need to understand the behavior and preferences of a generation that expects a lot from their employer and prefers a more flexible approach to leadership by superiors. Employers point out communication as a great advantage of generation Z. They are loud, direct and not afraid to express their opinions and views. Under these assumptions, the paper focuses on the analysis of Generation Z's attitude towards the use of four styles of situational leadership by their superiors. The professional contribution of this paper will be visible through a better understanding of situational leadership and its application today among members of Generation Z. The empirical research was conducted with a customized Hersey and Blanchard questionnaire, Situational Leadership Style Summary / Self Assessment to be completed by Generation Z members where they were asked how attractive they were to certain characteristics of the situational styles listed in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was filled out by members of Generation Z, students and those in permanent employment within large telecommunications corporations in the Republic of Croatia.
