Pengaruh Keseimbangan Kehidupan Kerja dengan Kecenderungan Job-hopping pada Karyawan Generasi Z

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of work-life balance on job-hopping tendencies among Generation Z employees in Medan. The background of this research is the increasing tendency of job-hopping among Generation Z, known for prioritizing flexibility and balance between personal life and work. The method used is a quantitative approach with a correlational research design, involving 170 Generation Z employees working in various companies in Medan with less than two years of work experience. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring work-life balance and job-hopping tendencies. The results of linear regression analysis indicate a significant negative effect of work-life balance on job-hopping tendencies (β = -0.627, p < 0.001), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 61.9%. These findings suggest that Generation Z employees are likely to change jobs if their work-life balance is not met, highlighting the need for companies to enhance support for this balance to reduce job-hopping rates.
