Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of differences between Millennials and Generation Z on the productivity of oil palm harvesters at PTPN IV Kebun Mayang Afdeling III, North Sumatra. The study used an associative quantitative approach with a sample of harvesters categorized by generation. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data came from the company and related literature. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test after going through the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and Levene's homogeneity test. The results showed that Generation Z had a higher average productivity than Millennials, namely 1,108.31 kg/day compared to 1,064.72 kg/day. However, the t-test results showed no significant difference between the two generations (sig. 0.410 > 0.05). This indicates that generational factors are not the main determinant of work productivity. Productivity is more influenced by work experience, skills, motivation, physical condition, and the company's work system. In conclusion, both Millennials and Generation Z contribute relatively equally to oil palm harvesting activities, so workforce management needs to focus on improving factors that support productivity. The implications of this research provide recommendations for companies to improve the effectiveness of cross-generational human resource management through training, work motivation, and sustainable work system improvements in the oil palm plantation sector.
