Abstract :Generation Y (Gen Y) includes individuals who were born in 1981 and later. Because of their integration with technology, Gen Y has different ways of doing business and different expectations of business life. Businesses that want to manage their human resources effectively should know the developments that change the workforce. In this study, a survey was conducted with 1505 students who are studying in Economic and Administrative Science and Social Science Vocation School at the Hitit University in Corum, Turkey. In this research, Turkish Gen Y’s perception of working, career plans, preference of work sector and factors that impact employment decisions were investigated. The Turkish Gen Y define themselves as “honest,” “self-confident” and “optimistic.” “Contribute to society,” “fair treatment of managers” and “career development” are the most important variables for Turkish Gen Y. In spite of that, “flexible working hours,” “out-of-office work” and “travel opportunities” are less important variables for them. When considered from this point of view, it can be said that Turkish Gen Y have different career expectations in some issues than Gen Y in other countries.
