Abstract
Purpose: Observation and analysis of the behavior of young people in the modern labor market reveals that their expectations may differ from the expectations of previous generations. The aim of this article is to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction among young Poles in the context of employment. The article refers to current problems on the labor market related to the issue of matching the expectations of potential employees to the employment conditions offered by employers. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted using the CAVI survey method on a representative sample of 1067 Polish men and women in the fourth quarter of 2024. Two age groups were distinguished: individuals aged 18-24 and 25-39. The study employed random, proportional sampling, and only employed individuals were surveyed. The analysis was deepened by calculating the Cramer's V correlation coefficient between declared expectations and membership in a specific age group. Findings: The results show no significant differences in employment expectations between Generation Y and Z and older generations. Across all age groups, key factors valued in employment include job stability, a low-stress working environment, and adequate compensation. Research limitations/implications: Conducting in-depth individual and group interviews with members of Generations Y and Z could provide more detailed insights into their work-related motivations and attitudes in the workplace. Practical implications: The findings can support organizations in developing effective recruitment strategies targeting young people. Originality/value: This article explores the employment-related expectations of Poles across different age groups, with a particular focus on Generations Y and Z. The study’s findings may serve as a valuable resource for organizations looking to tailor their recruitment processes and workplace structures to better align with the evolving career aspirations of younger employees. Keywords: labor market, Generation Y, Generation Z, work-life balance, career expectations. Category of the paper: research paper.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
