Abstract
The high rate of job turnover among Generation Z has become a concern for organizations, as it is linked to work-related stress and work-life balance. This study aims to examine the state of work-related stress, work-life balance, and turnover intention, as well as to analyze the impact of work-related stress and work-life balance on the turnover intention of Generation Z in the city of Bandung. A quantitative causal approach was employed. Primary data were collected via questionnaires from 100 respondents and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS 27. The results indicate that work-related stress is in the high category (74.9%), work-life balance is in the low category (46.1%), and turnover intention is in the high category (79.4%). Work-related stress has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention (regression coefficient: 0.783; t-statistic: 6.684), whereas work-life balance does not have a significant effect (coefficient: −0.041; t-statistic: −0.478; significance: 0.633). Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect (F-statistic: 79.741; significance: 0.000), with an R-squared value of 0.622, meaning that 62.2% of the variation in turnover intention can be explained by these two variables. These findings underscore that managing work-related stress is a key factor in reducing the inclination of Generation Z to leave their jobs.
