Abstract

Those who were born between 1980 and 2000 and nearly consist more than of 30% of the Turkish population are called Gen-Yers. Gen Yers are described as independent, entrepreneurial, self-confident individuals who expect to succeed in a short period of time, like freedom and flexibility, dislike micromanagement, have individual decision-making mechanisms and are good at using information technology. This research aims to investigate what kind of a leadership profile university students, most of whom are Gen Yers, desire to have under the effect of their academicians and parents, and whether charismatic or intellectual effect is higher in terms of demographic variables. As a result of the Factor Analysis, T test and ANOVA analyses, differences have been found regarding leadership characteristics in terms of gender and education variables, whereas no differences have been found according to age, income, consumption, region and educational status of parents.
