Abstract

The increasing participation of Generation Z in Indonesia’s workforce has created new challenges for organizations, particularly in maintaining employee motivation, engagement, and long-term retention. Compared with previous generations, Generation Z places stronger emphasis on transparency, meaningful work, and trust-based relationships with leaders. Although previous studies have extensively discussed leadership style and turnover intention, limited empirical research has specifically examined how authentic leadership influences work motivation among Generation Z employees in the Indonesian context. Since work motivation functions as a psychological foundation for employee engagement, commitment, and retention, examining this relationship is considered important both theoretically and practically. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the impact of authentic leadership on the work motivation of Generation Z employees in Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative survey design involving 361 Generation Z employees from five major provinces in Indonesia selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured online questionnaire and analysed using validity, reliability, and simple linear regression tests. Validity testing confirmed that all measurement items were statistically valid, while reliability testing demonstrated strong internal consistency, with Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.916 and 0.981 for Authentic Leadership and Work Motivation, respectively. The results showed that authentic leadership has a positive and statistically significant effect on work motivation (β = 0.734; p < 0.001), with an R² value of 0.653, indicating that authentic leadership explains 65.3% of the variance in work motivation. These findings confirm that authentic leadership plays an important role in strengthening the motivation of Generation Z employees in Indonesia. Practically, organizations are encouraged to implement leadership development initiatives focused on self-awareness, transparent communication, ethical decision-making, and regular feedback practices to improve employee motivation, engagement, and long-term retention among Generation Z in the workplace.

Abstract

Objective: Education and digital skills are increasingly recognized as key resources for strengthening entrepreneurial capacity and business sustainability. This study examines the influence of education on Micro- Small Entrepreneurs empowerment and investigates the mediating role of digital skills among micro-small entrepreneurs in Indonesia. Method: This study employed a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Data were collected from 108 valid micro-small entrepreneurs operating in the food, fashion, and retail sectors across West Java Province, Indonesia. The proposed model assessed the relationships among education, digital skills, and Micro- Small Entrepreneurs empowerment. Results: The results indicate that education has a positive and significant effect on digital skills and Micro- Small Entrepreneurs empowerment. Digital skills also significantly enhance Micro- Small Entrepreneurs' empowerment. Furthermore, digital skills partially mediate the relationship between education and Micro- Small Entrepreneurs empowerment, suggesting that educational attainment contributes to entrepreneurial empowerment both directly and indirectly through improved digital capabilities. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of strengthening entrepreneurship education and digital literacy programs to foster inclusive and sustainable Micro- Small Entrepreneurs development. Policymakers, educational institutions, and development agencies should prioritize initiatives that simultaneously enhance educational attainment and digital competencies among micro-entrepreneurs. Originality or Novelty: This study extends the Micro- Small Entrepreneurs empowerment literature by integrating education and digital skills within a single analytical framework and empirically demonstrating the mediating role of digital skills in explaining how education translates into entrepreneurial empowerment among Indonesian micro-small enterprises.
