| Abstract: | Martina Huemann and Ruth Lechler examine what motivates young project professionals from Generation Y to work on projects. Generation Y has unique preferences when it comes to work, highly valuing flexibility, growth opportunities, and engaging in meaningful tasks. They argue that projects provide an appealing work environment that aligns with the career aspirations of these professionals. Drawing upon self-determination theory, they share their research findings and introduce the Model of Young Project Professionals’ Motivation. Within this model, four sets of motivators are identified: learning and development, creating and delivering, relating and connecting, and working autonomously. Closing the chapter, we provide practical recommendations for organizations to attract and retain young project professionals, focusing on creating an environment that supports these motivators. |
