The phenomenon of hustle culture has become a significant issue due to its potential impact on workplace well-being, particularly among Generation Z employees in urban work environments who face high work demands and competitive pressures. This study aims to examine potential disparities in workplace well-being based on demographic characteristics, including gender, age, and educational background, among Generation Z employees in DKI Jakarta. A quantitative approach was employed using a descriptive-comparative design with convenience sampling, involving 762 participants. Data were collected using the Workplace Well-being Questionnaire and analysed using independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA. Descriptive results indicated that the overall level of workplace well-being was high (M = 3.41). The results showed no significant differences based on gender (p = 0.982) and age (F = 0.644, p = 0.526), but a significant difference was found based on educational background (F = 8.045, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the importance of educational background as a contextual factor in shaping workplace well-being and provide valuable insights for organisations to develop targeted strategies for supporting Generation Z employees.
