Abstract
Drawing on Herzberg’s two-factor theory, this study provides a unique understanding of employer attractiveness as per the Gen Y cohort in India, for a more nuanced understanding of how to attract talent in terms of variables that satisfy and dissatisfy. In this exploratory study, interviews with Gen Y and senior human resource executive respondents were conducted and compared. Challenging the underlying assumptions of Herzberg’s two-factor theory, the results suggest that Gen Y and HR executives have different perceptions of what constitutes satisfiers and dissatisfiers in terms of salary and financial rewards, as well as company culture. This study also suggests that there are some dimensions of employer attractiveness that are contextually unique to Indian millennials.
