Resumo(s)
The goal of this dissertation is to expand our understanding about generation Y, more
specifically, self-initiated expatriated (SIE) - people who spontaneously decide to go abroad
and look for new challenges. Those people present a “large but untapped pool of skilled
international workforce” (Ceric & Crawford, 2016, p.137) with a high potential impact in terms
of business and local growth. Therefore, the purpose was to analyse different personality traits
and understand how they affect individuals in their job perspective. In order to respond to this
question, a field study was conducted and data was collected from a convenience sample of 366
adults where the majority were postgraduate students with an average age of 25 years who have
at least experienced studying abroad. The results of the conducted analysis can be summed up
in the finding that it didn’t exist a significant connection between personality traits of
Generation Y SIE’s and organizational characteristics. In praxis that means that companies do
not appeal individuals with a certain personality of this sample by projecting a certain image
and, therefore, an individual approach seems to be more appropriate than group targeting
