Perception of Generation Y Employees:An Exploratory Study

An exploratory study was conducted to study the perceptions of Workplace Romance, Women managers and employers by Generation Y employees and the perception of Generation Y employees by managers and employers. The study was necessitated as there has not been any study conducted to know the perception of Generation Y employees in the context of organizations. The paper presents the perception of: Workplace romance, Women Managers and Employers by Generation Y employees and the perception of Generation Y employees by Managers and Employers. 58 executives in the age group of 24 to 28 years and 10 Managers and 8 employers in the age group of 50-60 years from four sectors, viz., IT, Banking, BPO and Retail were interviewed for the purpose of the study. The rationale behind selecting these four sectors was based on the assumption that the executives of these sectors were fast paced. Fast paced is used in the sense of fast career, fast food, fast money, fast success, fast moving, fun loving, etc. That means the managers and the Employers were, of late, exposed of a different mind set of employees.
