Abstract

As the latest demographic to join the modern labor market, Generation Z displays unique traits and professional expectations. This study examines how industrial psychology, workload, and the work environment affect the productivity of Generation Z workers in Jakarta. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, empirical evidence was gathered via questionnaires compiled from 100 Generation Z employees throughout the Jakarta region. The collected data were subsequently evaluated through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS. The empirical findings demonstrate that industrial psychology, workload, and work environment collectively exert a significant impact on the productivity of Generation Z staff in Jakarta. On an individual level, both industrial psychology and workload variables show a significant partial influence on overall productivity. Conversely, the work environment does not demonstrate a statistically significant effect on the productivity of Generation Z employees within this area. These outcomes imply that enterprises should prioritize psychological well-being and manageable workloads to maximize the efficiency of younger talents.
