Purpose– Job satisfaction among Generation Z employees has become a strategic issue in industrial areas such as Bekasi Regency, given this generation's high expectations regarding the balance between work demands and the rewards received. This study aims to examine the influence of workload and compensation suitability on the job satisfaction of Generation Z employees in Bekasi Regency, both individually and simultaneously.
Design/methodology– The study employs a quantitative associative-causal approach, with a sample of 100 respondents determined using Cochran's formula and snowball sampling. Data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS software.
Findings - The research results indicate that workload has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (calculated t-value of 4.799), and compensation suitability also has a positive and significant effect (calculated t-value of 7.645); furthermore, both variables simultaneously exert a significant influence, with a calculated F-value of 339.646 and a coefficient of determination of 87.5 percent. These findings suggest that the job satisfaction of Generation Z employees is heavily influenced by the balance between proportionate work demands and compensation perceived as fair. The study recommends that companies design balanced workload distribution policies and transparent compensation systems to enhance job satisfaction and sustainably retain young talent.
