Las caracterÃsticas de los Millennials de Malasia: una investigación sobre universidades públicas seleccionadas
This paper aims to explore the characteristics of millennials as espoused in most literature. There are seven characteristics of millennials and each characteristic became the focus of the present study. As most literature on the millennials’ characteristics is based on western context, this paper looks into the resemblance of the millennial characteristics’ descriptions among the Malaysian public university students. Employing a survey, data for the study were collected using an adapted questionnaire. The respondents for the study were selected Malaysian millennials who were social sciences undergraduates in nine public universities. A cluster sampling method resulted in a total of 646 respondents who took part in the survey. It was discovered that the selected Malaysian millennials confirm some of the attributes in the seven characteristics of millennials.Este artÃculo tiene como objetivo explorar las caracterÃsticas de los millennials tal como se defiende en la mayorÃa de la literatura.
