A qualitative approach has been followed by the authors, through the conduction of interviews with employees originated from the younger generation, with the purpose of comprehending their perspective on management and perceiving what motivates them to choose a career in healthcare. The empirical data is gathered from semi-structured interviews with workers of different paramedical professions in healthcare. The empirical data enables the authors to map the expectations, preferences and motivations among workers in healthcare. This allows to analyze these factors through existing motivation and management theory, aiming to identity problems and make suggestions of change in the current management. (Less)
