Abstract

Work engagement has become a critical concern in contemporary organizations, particularly as workforce dynamics continue to evolve. Among emerging employee groups, Generation Z demonstrates distinct expectations regarding leadership, autonomy, and workplace values, making it essential to understand the factors that foster their engagement at work. This study examines how empowering leadership shapes work engagement by incorporating psychological empowerment as an underlying mechanism and power distance orientation as a contextual boundary condition. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a survey and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that empowering leadership positively and significantly enhances work engagement. Psychological empowerment partially mediates this relationship, indicating that empowering leadership strengthens employees’ sense of meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact, which in turn fosters greater engagement. Furthermore, power distance orientation moderates the relationship between empowering leadership and psychological empowerment, with stronger effects observed among individuals with lower power distance orientation. These findings highlight the importance of empowering leadership in fostering employee engagement by addressing both psychological mechanisms and individual cultural orientations.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress and leader–member exchange on adaptive performance through the mediating role of innovative work behavior among Generation Z employees, in line with increasing demands for adaptation in a dynamic work environment. Methodology: This study used a quantitative approach through an online questionnaire survey of Generation Z employees in East Java who met the research criteria, resulting in 145 valid responses. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the measurement model and structural model. Results: The results showed that work stress had a significant negative effect on innovative work behavior and adaptive performance, while leader–member exchange had a significant positive effect on both variables. Innovative work behavior was also found to play a significant mediating role in explaining employee adaptability. Findings: Innovative work behavior emerged as a key behavioral mechanism that translates work stress conditions and leadership relationship quality into individual adaptability. Novelty and Originality: This study provides new empirical evidence on the dynamics of Generation Z employee adaptation by placing innovative work behavior as the main psychological channel connecting work demands and leadership resources with adaptive performance, thereby enriching the understanding of behavioral mechanisms in the context of the young workforce. Conclusion: This study concludes that adaptive performance among Generation Z is not directly shaped by work pressure or leadership, but is significantly guided by individual innovation capacity, affirming the central role of innovative work behavior as the primary mechanism for developing workforce adaptability.
