Abstract
A dynamic change in the labor force is essentially driven by the shifting demographics, which can determine and dictate how the future and nature of work will evolve. The growing number of Generation Z workers, who are also considered the digital natives, has been a topic of interest, exploring their characteristics, values, and expectations as workers, integrating themselves into organizations across industries. Utilizing the conceptual framework from the study of Maloba and Pilay-Naidoo (2021), the study employs quantitative research to explore how Generation Z differs from its predecessors, Millennials and Generation X, in terms of their perceived person-organization fit, levels of job satisfaction and intent to leave using a structured survey. This study further examines the relationship of person-organization fit to job satisfaction and intent to leave and the mediating role of employees' job satisfaction at CW Home Depot, a local retail company of construction and home building materials. A total of 510 CW Home Depot employees participated in the study, represented by each generation group. The collected data were analyzed using normality, correlation, and mediation analysis.

At the same time, mediation analysis showed that job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between person-organization fit and intent to leave among Generation Z and Generation X employees. The findings of this study provided insights into understanding the characteristics of Gen Z and other generational cohorts in the retail company.

Gen Z shows that the major factors are job autonomy and getting enough support from colleagues and superiors. Career growth and opportunities were key satisfaction drivers for millennials, while Gen X is satisfied in terms of better working conditions. Given the present study, all generation cohorts are inclined to stay. However, there is still a tendency for CW Home Depot employees to seek another opportunity to meet their personal needs and sometimes experience job exhaustion. The study showed that there is a
