Abstract

For about one decade now, the Generation Y has been entering the workforce in large numbers, which has given them the power to reshape the rules of play at work. Gen Y employees share many of the values of hard work and social consequences and demand more individual treatment and flexibility in training, work assignments, and work schedules. As the major test that faces organizations today is how to enhance job satisfaction within this new generation, this conceptual study aims to explore the work styles, professional expectations, and career concerns of Gen Y employees as the factors that could enhance their job satisfaction and to develop a preliminary job satisfaction model applicable to the Malaysian workforce. In-depth review of past literature was also made to further understand the elements that would lead to Gen Y more fulfilled at the workplace.
