Read the article, $$Why Gen Z workers are starting on the back foot$$ published on the BBC$$s website and answer the following questions.

In your responses, please use examples from the original article and, when required, the artificially generated summary.

$$Questions:

$1.$ Compare the original text with the artificially generated summary: What are the differences between the two? What important information, tone or detail, if anything, is missing or different?

Respond in paragraph form and use examples from the text. Be sure to cite these examples using APA format.

In the article $$Why Gen Z workers are starting on the back foot,$$ the author, Alex Christian $(2023)$ writes:

$$It$$s particularly centred around communication,$$ explains Helen Hughes, associate professor at Leeds University Business School, UK$.$It$$s things like understanding norms, values and etiquette: Who should you call? How should they be contacted? Are some people out of bounds?$$

These sorts of questions were once promptly answered in face$-$to$-$face settings $$ a desk drop$-$by$,$ or quick tag in the office kitchen. Navigating office politics would also be intuitive, based on subtle but tangible cues: fixed seating arrangements tend to indicate hierarchy; body language suggests when colleagues are most approachable. $$Social comparison is harder in a remote or hybrid environment $$

Hughes says this makes even mundane work tasks harder to accomplish. $$Miscommunication is easy in a virtual environment; for example, incorrectly inferring tone from an email. There can be a lack of understanding of when to set up a meeting $$ whether it$$s appropriate to wait and build a list of questions, or set up a call each time something is needed.$$

ChatGPT summarizes this passage as follows:

Helen Hughes, an associate professor at Leeds University Business School, highlights the communication aspect, emphasizing the importance of understanding norms, values, and etiquette in the workplace. The lack of face$-$to$-$face interactions makes it challenging for entry$-$level workers to pick up vital cues related to behavior, collaboration, and networking. Hughes notes that the virtual environment makes even mundane tasks harder due to potential miscommunication and difficulty in gauging appropriate times for meetings.

$2.$ Use the example in the previous question.

Based on the summary writing skills and strategies we discussed in class, do you notice errors in the AI generated summary $($in terms of summary writing conventions? If so$,$ explain what these errors are in a couple of sentences. You might say the AI generated summary:

$$ doesn$$t begin with author or main idea

$$ uses exact words

$$ doesn$$t cite its source

$3.$ Compare the original text to the summary and explain in $2-3$ sentences whether this is an effective summary or a plagiarised summary. Does the summary use proper citation$($s$)$ and original language? Use examples from both texts to explain your response.

From the text:

$$In some ways, Gen Z employees are thriving in the new world of work. They$$ve entered the workforce at a time when flexibility is commonplace, digital communication is ubiquitous and employees have the leverage to ask companies for what they want $($Christian$,2023).$

$-$

Summary:

The author of the article explains that people from the Gen Z generation are often doing well in the workplace because workplaces offer greater $$flexibility$$ and they have an ability to ask for $$what they want.$$

$4.$ Compare the original text to the summary and explain whether this is an effective summary or a plagiarised summary. Remember to ensure that the summary is properly cited and uses original language. Use examples from both texts to explain your response.

From the text:

$$Ultimately$,$ says James Bailey, professor of leadership development at the George Washington University School of Business, based in Washington, DC$,$ chance encounter. $$Serendipity is a big part of face$-$to$-$face office life that can$$t be replicated online,$$ he says. $$Some of our best ideas come from watercooler chats with colleagues $$ if you want to replicate those casual conversations on Zoom, you have to set up an appointment in someone$$s calendar $($Christian$,2023).$

Summary:

In the article, the author, Alex Christian $(2023)$ reports that a business professor says that chance encounters with colleagues helps people to build trust and foster new ideas. Meeting people randomly can result in some of our best ideas, but replicating those conversations with colleagues online means scheduling an appointment with them.
