Generation Z – those born between 1996 and 2010 – will dominate the job market soon. A survey by student career and talent development platform Rencanamu has found out what Gen Z’s dream workplace looks like.

The study reveals that Gen Z's main motivations to work are learning and development opportunities (44 percent) and the working environment and culture (19 percent).

Only 12 percent mention salary as their motivation. Some respondents expect a job that provides a good career path (7 percent) and enables them to make a social impact (6 percent).

"They want to work for a cause, not only earn money,” Rencanamu founder and CEO Rizky Muhammad told The Jakarta Post in Jakarta on Wednesday.

The results are based on Rencanamu’s analysis of its 1.6 million users' profiles in the last three years, as well as secondary surveys involving 3,500 respondents from across the country between August and September. All of the respondents are between 16 and 23, which put them in the Gen Z category.

In line with the survey, Bernadeta “Bella” Isabella, a psychology student at Surabaya State University (Unesa), said she dreamed of working in a place that enabled her to contribute to society.
