Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the experiences of Generation Z employees within digital work environments, focusing specifically on digital work pressure, workplace well-being, and retention intention. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative approach utilizing an exploratory design and a constructivist paradigm was employed. Data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 20 Generation Z employees working in digitally-based organizations in Yogyakarta. Participants were selected via purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Findings/Results: The analysis identified four core themes: (1) digital work pressure as a normalized strain within digital work cultures; (2) constant connectivity and the blurring lines between work and personal life; (3) the ambivalent effects of digital work pressure on productivity and mental exhaustion; and (4) workplace well-being as an interpretive mechanism in shaping retention intention. While digital technology is perceived to enhance flexibility and productivity, continuous connectivity induces mental fatigue and challenges work-life balance. The intent to remain within an organization is evaluated through the quality of work experiences, organizational support, self-development opportunities, and work-life harmony. Originality/Value: This study enriches the literature on the digital work experiences of Generation Z and offers practical insights for organizations to design digital work policies that support employee well-being and reinforce retention.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial motivation among Generation Alpha in Indonesia by incorporating entrepreneur mindset as a mediating variable. The topic is important due to the growing role of younger generations in the digital economy and the increasing need to develop entrepreneurial competencies from an early age. This study employed a quantitative research approach with 700 Generation Alpha respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 3. The findings indicate that entrepreneurship education has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneur mindset among Generation Alpha in Indonesia. Entrepreneurial motivation also positively influences entrepreneur mindset. In addition, entrepreneur mindset significantly mediates the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial motivation. The results suggest that entrepreneurship education contributes not only to increasing entrepreneurial motivation but also to strengthening entrepreneurial thinking patterns among younger generations. This study highlights the importance of support from educational institutions, families, and government in fostering entrepreneurial competencies and motivation among Generation Alpha. The findings provide both theoretical and practical contributions to the development of entrepreneurship education in Indonesia.
