Job Satisfaction in the Modern Workforce: The Influence of Spirituality, Digital Literacy, and Work-Life Balance on Generation Z
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research Aims:This study aims to empirically test and analyze the influence of workplace spirituality, digital literacy, and work-life balance on job satisfaction among Generation Z employees. Specifically, this research seeks to identify and measure the significance of the positive impact of these three independent variables on job satisfaction.
Design/Methodology/Approach:This study employed a quantitative research method by distributing questionnaires through Google Forms to a sample of 159 Generation Z employees. The collected data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the aid of SmartPLS software.
Research Findings:The findings of this study indicate that all three variables spirituality, digital literacy, and work-life balance have a positive and significant influence on the job satisfaction of Generation Z employees. Workplace spirituality was found to have a significant positive effect, although its path coefficient was relatively small. Digital literacy also demonstrated a significant positive effect with a moderate level of influence. Meanwhile, work-life balance has the most dominant and significant positive contribution to job satisfaction. Based on these results, all hypotheses proposed in this study (H1, H2, and H3) were supported and accepted.
Theoretical Contribution/Originality:This study provides a strategic and significant contribution to the development of human resource management theory and practice, particularly in the context of improving job satisfaction for younger generations in a modern work environment. The originality of this research lies in its empirical analysis of how these specific non-financial factors collectively influence job satisfaction among Generation Z employees, an under-researched area.
