We present a study of events with Z bosons and hadronic jets produced
in <(p)over bar p> collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV. T
he data consist of 6708 Z --> e(+)e(-) decays from 106 pb(-1) of integ
rated luminosity collected using the CDF detector at the Fermilab Teva
tron Collider. The Z + greater than or equal to n jet cross sections a
nd jet production properties have been measured for n = 1 to 4. The da
ta are compared to predictions of leading-order QCD matrix element cal
culations with added gluon radiation and simulated parton fragmentatio
n.
