Résumé : |
“Generation Y” behaviors have become a popular topic in managerial and general press. But no research in management science has come to characterize this population and its differences with its predecessors. This research addresses this gap and attempts to describe the characteristics of the relationship to employment of “Generation Y” workers. The concept of cognitive schema is used to describe how individuals organize their knowledge about careers and employment. The process of sensemaking is used to model the adjustment of individuals to the demands of work contexts. The cognitive schemas are studied with cognitive maps. The maps of three groups of individuals are compared: “Generation Y” before (N = 160) and after their initial recruitment (N = 127) and employees of the previous generation (N = 113). The results show that the cognitive schemas of Y employees don’t differ from those of members of the previous generation. They differ, however, from those of the Y students. The results tend to shows that the Y’s schemas don’t depend on their generational membership. |
