Exploring the Pandemic's Impact on Generation Z New Professionals in Student Affairs
Tice, Cady
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Trevecca Nazarene University
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the traditional new professional experience in student affairs, a field with a significant attrition rate in the first five years of service (Marshall et al., 2016). This qualitative case study analyzed data from semi-structured interviews alongside existing literature to uncover how the pandemic impacted Generation Z new professionals in student affairs and suggest how supervisors may best support them. The study illustrated the Generation Z new professional experience during the pandemic and found that this population possessed qualities consistent with pre-pandemic Generation Z literature. Effective supervision of this cohort was characterized by aligned expectations, an ethic of care, and flexibility. These needs informed recommendations for supporting Generation Z new professionals entering and continuing in the field.
