Abstract

The development of the modern working world has shifted Generation Z's career orientation, placing employee wellbeing and workplace comfort as top priorities. This study aims to analyze the effects of work-life balance, quality of work life, and work environment on employee performance among Generation Z in manufacturing companies within the MM2100 Industrial Town, Cikarang. The research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method, with a sample of 120 respondents determined based on the Hair et al. formula. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square or SEM-PLS. The results show that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a T-statistic value of 2.904 and a P-value of 0.004. The quality of work life variable also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a T-statistic value of 2.884 and a P-value of 0.004. Additionally, work environment is proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a T-statistic value of 2.915 and a P-value of 0.001. These findings confirm that fulfilling life balance, ensuring quality of work life, and providing a conducive work environment are key factors for Generation Z to optimize their work performance. Companies are advised to integrate flexibility policies and a supportive climate to sustain the productivity of young talent in the long term. Perkembangan dunia kerja modern menggeser orientasi Generasi Z dalam memilih karier, di mana kesejahteraan dan kenyamanan tempat kerja menjadi prioritas utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh work-life balance, quality of work life, dan work environment terhadap kinerja karyawan pada Generasi Z di perusahaan manufaktur Kawasan Industri MM2100 Cikarang. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif survei dengan sampel sebanyak 120 responden yang ditentukan berdasarkan rumus Hair et al. Analisis data diuji menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square atau SEM-PLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa work-life balance berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan nilai T-statistic 2,904 dan P-value 0,004. Variabel quality of work life juga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan nilai T-statistic 2,884 dan P-value 0,004. Selain itu, work environment terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan nilai T-statistic 2,915 dan P-value 0,001. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pemenuhan keseimbangan hidup, jaminan kualitas kerja, dan lingkungan kerja yang kondusif menjadi faktor penentu bagi Generasi Z untuk mengoptimalkan performa kerja mereka. Perusahaan disarankan mengintegrasikan kebijakan fleksibilitas dan iklim suportif demi mempertahankan produktivitas talenta muda secara berkelanjutan.
