Abstract

Human resources are one of the most essential assets within an organization that must be effectively managed to enhance performance and achieve organizational objectives. This study examines the importance of enhancing employee performance, which continues to experience issues related to punctuality, service quality, and employee initiative. The research employs a quantitative approach using a causal-associative method and is analyzed through Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the support of SmartPLS 3.2.9 software. The population consists of all 60 employees, with a saturated sampling technique applied so that the entire population serves as the sample. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire utilizing a Likert scale. The results indicate that training exerts a positive and significant effect on employee performance, employee development has a positive and significant impact on performance, and, simultaneously, training and development collectively exert a positive and significant influence on employee performance. The implications of this study highlight the importance for organizations to design and manage training and development programs in a continuous and integrated manner, ensuring employees are equipped not only to meet current job demands but also to take on greater responsibilities in the future.

Abstract

The swift evolution of digital technology has transformed hiring methods, with Generation Z placing greater dependence on social media for job-related information. This research seeks to investigate how social media functions as a recruitment instrument on Generation Z’s willingness to seek employment and to explore the mediating influence of employer branding within this context. This study utilized a quantitative method through a survey approach by distributing questionnaires to participants identified as Generation Z. The sampling method employed was purposive sampling, involving a total of 100 respondents. The gathered data were assessed through Structural Equation Modeling utilizing the Partial Least Squares method. The findings show that using social media for recruitment positively and significantly influences Generation Z’s desire to seek employment. Moreover, employer branding positively impacts the intention to apply for jobs. The mediation analysis indicates that employer branding partially mediates the connection between social media recruitment and the job application intention of Generation Z. These results indicate that organizations need to refine their recruitment strategies via social media and cultivate a robust employer brand to improve their appeal to young job applicants.
