Research conducted by Paul Harvey, assistant professor of management at the University of New Hampshire, shows that members of Generation Y are more entitlement-minded than older workers. For employers, that means more employees who feel entitled to undeserved preferential treatment, who are more prone to get into workplace conflicts and who are less likely to enjoy their job.

DURHAM, N.H. - When Jaime Lopez moved to the United States from Mexico as a teenager and started high school, he excelled in math to compensate for his struggles with English. Now the U.S. Navy veteran is planning a career in the financial world of hospitality after discovering "a new world" as a University of New Hampshire hospitality management major.
