Maslow's hierarchy of needs is the main theoretical framework used in this paper. This paper will provide an interview script, place it in a working analytical framework, and categorize it into answer narratives to ensure data significance. In conclusion, this paper provided key workforce factors in generations Y and Z working in the government sector, as well as recommendations to attract younger workers to government organizations.
