A geração Y e o novo mundo do trabalho

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to investigate whether companies are prepared to welcome Generation Y professionals, from the perspective of the subjects belonging to this group. To achieve this aim, a bibliographical review was made about the resulting developments from the new organizational context, new forms of management and the meaning of work for each generation, as well as the context in which the generations have emerged. The review had focused on the themes "world of work" and "study of generations". Subsequently, a descriptive research was conducted with individuals who fit the description of generation Y, defined by the existing literature. The results obtained in this research, from data collected and processed in a specific and regional context, were confronted with the theory and discussed with emphasis on similar and divergent points found in the literature. It was found that the insertion of the generation Y in the workplace has been subject of many studies, given the need to understand the changes that are occurring in the organizational environment. It is concluded that changes in the world of work are associated with the distinctive profile of the young people from generation Y, considered "children of technology", by representing the first generation of the story fully immersed in interactivity, hyperstimulation and digital environment.
