This study advances our understanding of the supervisory needs of Generation Y teachers specifically to remediate the increasing rate of teacher attrition in schools across the nation. This dissertation is motivated by two research questions: (1) What are the lived experiences of Gen Y public-school teachers with individualized support from school and district human relations management and leadership? (2) What are the lived experiences of Gen Y public-school teachers with school leadership and district human relations management that contribute to burnout? This is a qualitative, phenomenological research study that used random convenience sampling and thematic analysis to understand the unique human resource needs of Gen Y individuals in the workplace by adding specific data on what Gen Y teachers' unique needs are in public-school settings. The findings from the research have been organized into four major themes: the emotional attributes of supervision, the Gen Y teacher's need for professional and personal growth, individualized supervision related to motivation and discouragement, and supervision and burnout. The four findings answer the broad purpose of the research and produced six potential actions for consideration by principals in public schools. The conclusions of this research suggest opportunities for positive change in the supervisory practices at public schools. By adopting more individualized, flexible policies that promote growth and allow for promotion opportunities, the high rates of attrition for Gen Y teachers can be reversed. As Gen Y teachers continue to grow as the largest generational cohort of teachers, school administrators can adapt to meet their needs and in-turn, students will be better served.
