Greetings in the name of St. Thomas Aquinas!

We are 4th year students from the College of Commerce in Business Administration of University of Santo Tomas (UST) and are currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Human Resource Management. We humbly ask you to partake in our survey entitled ”The Perceived Influence of Job Resources on Gen Z Employees’ Intent to Stay: A Study of Compensation and Benefits, Achievement and Recognition, and Personal Growth and Development in Metro Manila”.

Purpose of the Survey

This study holds significant value by identifying which specific job resources—compensation and benefits, achievement and recognition, or personal growth and development—are perceived by Generation Z employees in Metro Manila as most influential for their intent to stay. Its findings provide organizations and HR practitioners in this key economic region with actionable, evidence-based strategies to effectively retain Gen Z talent—a demographic increasingly dominating the workforce—enabling optimized resource allocation towards impactful retention initiatives (e.g., targeted compensation structures, recognition programs, or development pathways).

Social Relevance

The study addresses conflicting findings and a specific gap in understanding Gen Z retention drivers within Metro Manila's unique socio-economic context (inflation and hybrid work). Its findings provide actionable, evidence-based strategies for local organizations to optimize resource allocation, reduce costly attrition, and meet Gen Z employee expectations, fostering a more stable and committed workforce in this key economic region.

Subject Participation

This survey targets Generation Z regular employees (born 1995-2015) of Metro Manila, aged 18–30, regardless of gender.
