Abstract

This study aims to examine the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between workload, work environment, and Generation Z employee performance. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling, involving 100 Generation Z employees working in the service sector. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The analysis procedures included tests of construct validity and reliability, structural model evaluation, and mediation analysis using the bootstrapping method. The results indicate that workload and work environment have positive and significant effects on Generation Z employee performance. The work environment also shows a significant positive effect on work engagement, whereas the effect of workload on work engagement is moderate. Furthermore, work engagement partially mediates the relationship between work environment and employee performance but does not mediate the effect of workload on performance. The R² value of 0.649 demonstrates that the proposed model explains 64.9% of the variance in Generation Z employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive work environment and managing workload effectively to enhance work engagement and performance among Generation Z employees.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of digital marketing and price discount promotions on consumers’ purchase decisions of Steam games. A quantitative approach with an associative-causal research design was employed. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 100 active Steam users selected using purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 to test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that both digital marketing and price discount promotions have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, either partially or simultaneously. Among the two variables, price discount promotions demonstrate a stronger influence on consumers’ purchasing decisions compared to digital marketing strategies. These findings suggest that while digital marketing remains an important tool for increasing product awareness and engagement, discount-based promotions play a more decisive role in stimulating actual purchase behavior in digital game platforms. The study provides practical implications for digital game publishers and marketers to optimize promotional strategies by balancing persuasive digital marketing content with effective discount offerings to enhance purchasing outcomes.
