Generation Z has a population of 67 million and is an emergent segment of the workforce projected at 30%-50% beyond 2020. Organizational culture and associated values are essential when selecting future employers for this generation. The problem addressed is the shortage of research on Generation Z's preferred organizational values and preferences for organizational culture, and the potential incongruence if there is a mismatch when hiring. This problem impacts Generation Z as newcomers to the workforce and organizations. This nonexperimental quantitative causal-comparative study explored Generation Z college students' perceived compatibility of organizational culture. Generation Z college students (N = 40) from 40 colleges and universities across four college majors: accounting, business management, information systems, and marketing. The sample comprised 35% females and was primarily (n = 26, 65%) males through self-identification. The ethnicity composition was 2.5% Asian, 7.5% African American/Black, and the sample were predominately White (n = 36, 90%). The mean age was 22 and (n = 26, 35%) and 65% of the students were classified as freshmen and sophomores. The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) was used to assess organizational culture for Generation Z college students. Descriptive statistics were calculated to determine the highest group mean for organizational culture and standard deviations. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) statistical test was used to determine perceived differences for organizational culture for Generation Z college students by college major. The findings showed that Generation Z college students identified Clan culture as the most compatible organizational culture out of the four organizational cultures. There were no perceived statistically significant differences for compatibility for organizational culture across groups of four college majors. Understanding how organizational culture is compatible with Generation Z college students has implications for organizations and researchers. Future research for practice assessing Generation Z preferences for organizational culture as a part of the recruitment process may help discern compatibility for organizational culture before employment to help incompatibility and unwanted attrition. Future paths for research may encompass assessing Generation Z students with work experience, expanding college majors, exploring Generation Z college students who are juniors and seniors, and increasing the sample size and demographics for future studies.
