Inclusive Leadership as The Key to Generation Z Talent Retention in Semarang City
Abstract
Generation Z, as a digital native generation, has unique characteristics that affect the dynamics of the world of work. This study aims to analyze the influence of inclusive leadership, work engagement, and turnover intention on generation Z who have worked for at least one year in Semarang City. The research sample amounted to 277 respondents who were selected through purposive sampling. The data was collected using an online questionnaire through Google Form and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of AMOS 22.0. The results of the study show that inclusive leadership has a significant negative influence on the turnover intention. This means that the higher the implementation of inclusive leadership in the organization, the lower the employee's intention to leave the job. In addition, inclusive leadership also has a significant positive influence on work engagement. This indicates that inclusive leadership can increase employee engagement at work. Furthermore, the results of the study also showed that work involvement had a significant negative influence on the intention to resign. These findings confirm that employees who have high work engagement tend to have lower intentions to leave the organization.
