Abstract

Generation Z as a digital native generation has unique characteristics in the world of work, including a high preference for flexibility and work-life balance. This study aims to determine the effect of flexible working arrangements on employee retention in Generation Z employees, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey design and purposive sampling technique, involving 395 Generation Z respondents aged 19-26 years who work in organizations with flexible work policiesThe research instrument was a Likert scale for each variable, and data analysis was conducted using simple regression test and path analysis. The results show that flexible working arrangements have a positive and significant effect on employee retention, both directly and indirectly. Job satisfaction is shown to partially mediate the relationship between flexible working arrangements and employee retention. These findings reinforce the important role of work flexibility in improving job satisfaction of young employees, and provide practical reference for organizations in developing work policies that are adaptive to Generation Z values.
