Özet

This study examined generational differences in the intrinsic, extrinsic, social environment, alturism, freedom-related, status-related work values of Turkish university students (classes of 1980 and 1997, representing ‘Generation Y’, respectively). A sample of 272 members of generation Y was drawn from severaluniversities in Istanbul, Turkey. Data was gathered using Work Value's Scale developed by Lyons (2004). Factor analysis suggested the five factors model. Analysis proved that there were significant differences between work values chosen by male and female Gen Y students.Theoretical and practical implications of the survey findings were discussed, limitations of the study were specified, and directions for future research were suggested.
