Abstract: Organizational cynicism is expressed as the negative behavior and attitudes of the employees to their organizations.Generation Y is defined as individuals born between 1981 and 2000, although there is no clear consensus between the dates.Generation Y, which is the latest in the business world and more than other generations in terms of a number, shows its effects all over the world and forces many organizations to change their way of doing business.Although cynicism is stated to be distinguished, low level of satisfaction, criticism, interest in itself, and a negative point of view, its effect on generations has not been explicitly investigated.With this research, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by revealing the interaction of organizational cynicism for Generation Y employees.This generation, which was naturally formed according to the actor-network theory, was again tested by the questionnaire, whether the technology-organization-individual interaction specified within the theory is meaningful to cynic dimensions to title and gender equations.Research universe, Generation Y employees are carrying out the activities of participation banks in Turkey.Survey results are analyzed by factor analysis, t-test, and correlation analysis.It has been found that individuals working in participation banks belonging to generation Y, together with personality cynicism, show differences along the dimensions of organizational cynicism, income, title, and gender.As a result of these findings, Generation Y employees of participation banks seem to be exposed to cynicism, not only in age but also in title and gender, contrary to what is perceived in the literature.This research on organizational cynicism of Generation Y employees is important in terms of inadequate studies and important findings.
