Compensation, Leadership, Work-Life Balance, Job Satisfaction, Generation ZAbstract
This study aims to determine the influence of compensation, leadership style, and work-life balance on the job satisfaction of Generation Z in Surabaya. The phenomenon of the emergence of Generation Z in the world of work has created new dynamics in human resource management, especially related to preferences for flexibility, work-life balance, and a work system that supports employee welfare. The population in this study is Generation Z employees who work in various industrial sectors in Surabaya. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total of 238 respondents. The research method uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis processed using JASP software. The results showed that compensation had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction with a regression coefficient value of 0.348. Leadership style also has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction with a coefficient of 0.402, and is the dominant variable. In addition, work-life balance has a positive and significant influence on job satisfaction with a coefficient of 0.191. Simultaneously, these three variables had a significant effect on job satisfaction with an F value of 311.631 and a contribution of 80% to the variation in job satisfaction (R² = 0.800). Thus, compensation, leadership style, and work-life balance are factors that play an important role in increasing Generation Z's job satisfaction in the work environment. The results of this study provide implications for organizations to improve the compensation system, implement an effective leadership style, and strengthen work-life balance policies as a strategy in developing the quality of human resources and creating a work environment that supports employee welfare.
