A UGC NET and TN SET qualified PhD Scholar looking forward to building a long term career as a faculty in Commerce while pursuing research works to provide quality education to students. Being a full-time research scholar has helped reshape my research interests in the fields of Commerce and Management, while the stint as a tuition teacher for 6 years has inculcated skills in handling students well. I find value in knowledge sharing and am passionate about teaching as it can considerably contribute to transforming lives. Since human resource is an important resource in any industry, I can easily connect my passion for teaching and research works in HRM, thus making significant contributions to the industries in specific and society in general.

PurposeThis study investigates the minimalist approach of Gen Z, which diverges from traditional minimalist ideals that emphasize curated and meaningful consumption. Gen Z’s minimalism is deeply rooted in sustainability, self-expression and social identity, promoting intentional living by focusing on what truly matters and eliminating unnecessary excess.Design/methodology/approachGrounded in self-determination theory, this research employs a mixed-method approach combining netnography with a quantitative survey involving 316 respondents. This comprehensive analysis aims to uncover the factors influencing Gen Z’s distinct minimalist behaviors.FindingsThe study presents three key insights. First, the concept of voluntary simplicity, representing older minimalist notions, is found to be irrelevant in the fashion context, highlighting a shift in minimalist values. Second, contrary to common beliefs, minimalism does not significantly impact emotional well-being, suggesting that its psychological benefits may be overstated. Lastly, social crowding negatively moderates the relationship between minimalism and social connectedness, indicating that higher levels of social connections can diminish the sense of community often associated with minimalist lifestyles.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited by its focus on a specific demographic and geographic area, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Future research could explore minimalist behaviors in other contexts and among different age groups to provide a broader understanding.Originality/valueThis research provides fresh insights into Gen Z’s minimalist practices, emphasizing their motivations around sustainability, self-expression and social identity. It explores how their approach to minimalism intersects with fashion, contributing to a deeper understanding of contemporary consumption trends and intentional living among younger generations.
