When Generation Z part-time workers were asked about the moment they considered quitting or changing part-time jobs, the most common response was "feeling that the pay is low compared to the work" (43.2%).

In response to the question about the "decisive reason for quitting a part-time job," "dissatisfaction with work intensity, methods, and environment" (24.7%) was ranked first.

Additionally, Generation Z part-time workers were found to decide to quit for reasons such as ▲influence of studies or main job (19.1%) ▲interpersonal relationships with managers and colleagues (16.7%) ▲health issues such as stress (16.0%).

Regarding the pay issue, which was cited as a cause for considering quitting, only 7.6% responded that it was the reason for actually quitting, indicating that it does not have a significant impact on the decision to resign.

Meanwhile, when all Generation Z part-time workers who participated in this survey were asked about the shortest period they worked at a part-time job, 7 out of 10 (69.5%) answered "less than 3 months."

Responses of "less than a week" or "quit immediately after one day of work" were also recorded at 10.7% and 10.9%, respectively.

The most important factor for long-term employment of six months or more was "harmonious work atmosphere" (40.9%).
