Perceived Challenges and Strategies in Managing Generation Z Nurses of Nursing Administrator in Cavite

Author(s) Ms. Mary Rose Abante Plata, Dr. Reymart Bito Bolagao
Country Philippines
Abstract The nursing workforce is increasingly multigenerational, offering both opportunities and challenges in healthcare delivery. Generation Z nurses (born 1995–2012) are digital natives, technologically proficient, yet often exhibit shorter attention spans, higher anxiety, and individualistic tendencies. Projected to comprise up to 50% of the nursing workforce, their integration requires nurse-administrators to adapt communication, collaboration, and management strategies to their unique needs. This study examined the societal, personal, and organizational challenges perceived by nurse-administrators in managing Generation Z nurses in Cavite, Philippines, and the strategies used to address them. A descriptive-correlational design was employed with 70 nurse-administrators from selected public and private hospitals. Participants completed a structured questionnaire assessing demographics, perceived challenges, and management strategies aligned with Healthy Work Environment standards. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Pearson’s correlation. Results revealed that administrators’ age, experience, and leadership training significantly influenced their management approaches. Middle-aged administrators with continuous professional development were most likely to apply effective decision-making, skilled communication, collaboration, staffing, recognition, and authentic leadership. Societal, personal, and organizational challenges—including workplace conflict, stress, turnover, workload, and lack of empowerment—were addressed through proactive, tailored strategies fostering supportive and efficient work environments. Recommendations highlight structured mentorship, professional development, and leadership training. Future research should explore organizational culture, leadership styles, generational communication preferences, and longitudinal trends to optimize management, enhance nurse satisfaction, and improve patient care outcomes.
