Abstract
Entry of Generation Y (Gen Y)
employees into the workforce has
challenged the conventional
managerial practices in organizations.
Characteristics of Gen Y are
in sharp contrast with the way
public sector organizations function.
Gen Y is fast, independent,
and desires flexible work environment.
Public sector organizations,
on the other hand, are mostly
bound by rigid rules and regulations
laid down by the government.
This study investigates the differing
work values, workplace behaviors,
and job attitudes of Gen
Y working in public sector organizations.
Results indicate that Indian
Gen Y employed in the public
sector give more importance to
extrinsic and power/prestige work
values, and their intention to
leave the organization is not correlated
to commitment.
