READING GENERATION Z PATTERNS IN THE WORKPLACE: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-LIFE BALANCE, EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, AND INTENT TO RESIGN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Work-Life Balance and Employee Engagement policies on the intention to resign among Generation Z employees. The background of this study is based on the increasing tendency of the younger generation to change jobs, so it is important for organizations to understand the factors that influence this decision. The research approach used is quantitative with a descriptive correlational method to examine the relationship between the variables of work-life balance policies, employee engagement, and intention to resign. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using regression techniques to test the influence between variables. The results show that Worklife Balance policies have a significant effect on the intention to resign, while Employee Engagement has no significant effect. In general, both variables together contribute to the formation of employee intentions to leave their jobs. This finding confirms that the balance between work and personal life is a key factor in retaining Generation Z in the workplace. Academically, this study contributes to the development of theories and studies of organizational behavior, while practically the results can be a reference for companies in designing flexible work policies oriented towards employee welfare to reduce turnover rates among the younger generation
