AB This study analyzes the impact of four dimensions on Generation Z’s intentions to work in thetourism industry in their hometown of Antequera (Malaga, Spain) within the specific tourism context ofWorld Heritage Sites (WHSs). We estimate the influence of young residents’ perceptions toward tourismdevelopment through WHS recognition, community involvement, and place attachment on this variable,following the theory of planned behavior (TPB). A structural equation model based on variance by partialleast squares, PLS-SEM, has been proposed. The results show that Generation Z's communityinvolvement, place attachment, and positive perceptions toward tourism developmentdirectly influence their intentions to work in their WHS hometown; meanwhile, the negative perceptionstoward tourism development have no direct impact on these intentions to work.
