Post globalization and liberalization era it is essential for an organization to survive and excel in the competitive environment and in the process Human Resource Management in an organization plays a pivotal role. To evolve winning HRM strategies in the organization, it becomes imperative to understand the need to build a committed workforce which is conflict free and whose expectations are well met by the organization. The modem corporate practice is to source their valuable leadership oriented managerial resources from leading Business schools in the country and the present day young generations who step in to the organization in managerial cadre are mostly confronted with intergenerational issues at workplace. This study explored the work place expectations on Gen Y employee's value dimensions and related it to see its impact on levels of commitment and found that age and siblings have a role in shaping up work place preferences among generation 'Y'.
