Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki Y kuşağı çalışanlarının işten
beklentilerini incelemektir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada Y kuşağı çalışanlarının iş
beklentileri ile iş tatmini ve kurumsal bağlılıkları arasındaki ilişki irdelenmektedir.
Y kuşağı çalışanlarının artmasıyla, bu çalışanların iş beklentilerini bilmek,
yetenekli Y kuşağı bireylerini kurumlarda tutmak için önemli hale gelmiştir.
Niceliksel araştırma tasarımı çerçevesinde 251 Y kuşağı çalışanına anket
uygulanmıştır. Ankette, Y kuşağı çalışanlarına iş beklentileri, mevcut iş
memnuniyetleri ve kurumsal bağlılıkları ile ilgili sorular sorulmuştur. Yapılan
istatistik analizler sonucunda Y kuşağı çalışanlarının işten beklentileriyle
ilgili memnuniyet seviyelerinin yüksek olduğu ancak ek güdüleyicilere ve
düzenlemelere de açık oldukları bulunmuştur. Buna ek olarak, güdüleyici
faktörlerinden memnun olanların (hijyen faktörlerden memnun olanlara oranla)
daha yüksek kurumsal bağlılık seviyesine sahip oldukları ortaya konmuştur.
