by Baldonado, Arthur M., Ph.D., NORTHCENTRAL UNIVERSITY, 2008, 89 pages; 3325512

Abstract:

The purpose of the qualitative, descriptive study was to explore the motivational needs of Gen Y and their impact in the workplace based on Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation. The participants consisted of Gen Y students at the University of Hawaii. The author used a researcher-developed, written survey as research methodology. The findings of the study revealed that Gen Y cohort placed great importance to both hygiene and motivator factors in their motivational needs. Growth and personal life were both important to Gen Y students. Managers must be flexible in their managerial approach to Gen Y workers.
