Abstract The purpose of this study was to supplement and re-establish the limitations of the image evaluation methodology developed in the past for the inflow of Generation Z, an important potential manpower resource for the future construction industry, into the construction industry. Based on this, the main results of this study are as follows. 1) As a result of diagnosing the image level of Generation Z for the construction industry based on the updated image evaluation methodology, the overall image level result of Generation Z for the construction industry was analyzed to be 'Normal' with 625.6 out of 1,000 points, but when looking at the level of each keyword of Generation Z, most of the sub-items of middle-class integrity construction and corporate ethics and the sub-items of the '4D industry' of the working environment were negative. 2) Generation Z recognized the improvements of domestic governance projects as "expanding programs for students," "expanding financial investment for image improvement projects," and "establishing a post-performance management system and feedback on the results of image improvement projects," and expressed opinions that "experience activities in the construction sector," "business and field trips," and "establishing a platform for sharing information on the construction industry" were necessary. 3) To compensate for the problems of the ongoing domestic image improvement project, a benchmarking plan for various contents and financial structures of the Japanese image improvement project being implemented for Gen Z and others was proposed. Since this study limited Generation Z to high school and college students, there is a limitation in that no research has been conducted on Generation Z, who is currently engaged in the construction industry.
