Data were obtained from 115 postgraduate students through an open-ended questionnaire for capturing the mindset of Generation Y. This study is among the few which explore the attitude, expectations and preferences of Generation Y through qualitative method. A better understanding of the Generation Y attitude, expectations and preferences will be helpful for the employers to create job offerings and work environments that are more likely to engage and retain Generation Y workforce.
