“…Hiring Millennials, many companies realized that this generation came with different attitudes and work habits that need adaptation with existing cultures. Employing young talents who have just left college is a challenging process for the company because it has changed the culture of the company lately (Kamau, et al, 2014). Therefore, problems that arise such as the gap between generations and the number of Generation Y employees leaving their jobs for career advancement are new concerns for today's companies (Stichnote & Crow, 2010).…”

“…FLE's attitude is an incomplete and debatable topic amongst researchers, and many researchers are investigating the influence of organizational culture on FLE's attitude in the service sector (Awwad & Agti, 2011).

The authors investigate what factors impact employee attitude and how employee attitude shapes their behavior. They admit that pro-social behavior (PSB) is a consequence of internal market and learning orientation since it affects the attitude of front-line employees. Therefore, the article focuses on the internal market and learning orientation, enabling an organization's culture via employee attitudes. A survey was conducted to collect the data from managers and front-line employees at higher educational institutes in Pakistan. The findings of the study are that (1) the internal market orientation (IMO) has a positive influence on the pro-social behavior of front-line employees (FLE); (2) employee attitude mediates the effect of IMO on PSB, and (3) employee attitude mediates the effect of learning orientation (LO) on PSB. Implications of the obtained results and further research directions are also mentioned.

“…Another name given to this generation is "the trophy kids", due to the fact they have been raised in an environment in which they have received awards for the simplest things (Crampton & Hodge, 2009). The work of Kamau et al (2014) argues that one of the characteristics of millennials is that they do not comply with rules at work and prefer to do things their own way. In other words, the millennials want to have a degree of job autonomy in their work.…”

“…As a consequence, the millennials question every rule that is made in a company, and believe that rules are made to be broken (Gursoy et al, 2008). In their quantitative study among part-time students, Kamau et al (2014) found that millennials seek freedom in their jobs and are very self-assertive. As a consequence, they do not feel the need to consult others and believe that their way is the right way.…”
