- Abstract

The final result reveal which themes Generation Y deem important and how the employed group and the non-employed group differ from each other with respect to a positive or a negative work experience. The identified themes were: communication, support from supervisor, development, working climate, meaningfulness, flexibility, salary, the company’s reputation and resources. The results only show a significant result in differences of the personality trait conscientiousness. This study points to the fact that the priorities for Generation Y are different in relation to previous studies.

- Undersökningen vill bidra med kunskap om hur organisationer kan bibehålla personal, med fokus på en ny generation arbetstagare Generation Y och vilka faktorer som anses viktiga för viljan att stanna kvar på arbetsplatsen, men även undersöka om personlighet är en avgörande faktor. Undersökningen genomfördes genom en digital enkätstudie med öppna svarsfrågor till personer som är eller har varit timanställda på samma organisation.

Flera teman identifierades som viktiga av Generation Y varav kommunikation, stöd från chefer, flexibilitet och lön lyfts fram som extra betydelsefulla. Resultatet visade även på ett signifikant...

Undersökningen genomfördes genom en digital enkätstudie med öppna svarsfrågor till personer som är eller har varit timanställda på samma organisation. Studiens resultat visar på hur anställde och icke anställda skiljer sig åt i positiv respektive negativ upplevelse. Flera teman identifierades som viktiga av Generation Y varav kommunikation, stöd från chefer, flexibilitet och lön lyfts fram som extra betydelsefulla. Resultatet visade även på ett signifikant resultat för personlighetsdraget samvetsgrannhet. Studien pekar på att prioriteringarna ser annorlunda ut för Generation Y i relation till tidigare studier.
