Abstract

This study investigates how digital competency and the human resources management (HRM) strategies plays a role in increasing generation Z career readiness in facing the digital era. Because of the fast growth of digital technology, workforce needs have changed, asking workers to have responsive skills and strong digital literacy. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design involving Generation Z graduates in Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that digital competency, including the ability to use digital tools, online communication platforms, and self-directed learning resources, plays a significant role in enhancing career readiness. In addition, HRM strategies such as training, mentoring, and digital-based performance evaluation effectively support skill development and employability. However, several challenges remain, including skill gaps, lack of practical experience, and limited access to high-quality training. This study concludes that integrating digital competency development with adaptive HRM strategies is essential to prepare Generation Z for the dynamic labor market in the digital era.

Abstract

This study explores the rising trend of instant gratification among children and emphasizes the importance of strengthening character education grounded in local wisdom values to enhance self-control. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires and subsequently analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach via the SmartPLS software 4. The research findings indicated that the internalization of character education grounded in local wisdom had a positive and significant effect on children’s self-control, while self-control negatively impacts instant gratification behavior. However, no direct significant relationship was found between character education and instant gratification. Mediation analysis confirms that self-control significantly mediates this relationship. These findings suggest that enhancing local wisdom–based character education can improve children’s self-control and reduce the tendency toward instant gratification, promoting more adaptive, long-term–oriented behaviors.
