Abstract
The millennial generation is a demographic group (aged 25 to 35 years) that has
recently completed higher education and is now entering or has just entered the labor force (Shih & Allen, 2007). Millennials expect compensation, job security,
professional development, fair treatment, working conditions, training, and
promotions that may be direct or indirect. Millennials' job expectations tend to be
higher given their high levels of optimism regarding employment opportunities in the market (Josiam et al., 2009). Millennials might seek a range of benefits for their work, such as higher status, money, or the use of their skills (Conway & Coyle-Shapiro, 2012).
Leaders of companies may create job offerings and workplace environments that are attractive to Millennials by understanding their job expectations. The millennial
generation is becoming a bigger part of the workforce but has unique job expectations (Shaw & Fairhurst, 2008), which organizations need to address in order to enhance the expectations of millennials. Millennial employees tend to associate expectations with job content, career development, training, financial rewards, and job security (De Hauw & De Vos, 2010). If the workplace environment does not meet an employee‘s expectations, the employer faces the risk of losing that employee. The money invested in initial recruiting and training is lost when an employee leaves the company
(Palanski, Avey, & Jiraporn, 2013).
