Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of the Right to Disconnect (RTD) on the work productivity of Generation Z employees at Plaza Asia Tasikmalaya. The RTD concept emphasizes the right of employees to disconnect from work matters outside of working hours without negative consequences, in order to maintain work-life balance and psychological well-being. The research method used was an associative quantitative approach with data collection techniques through a Likert scale questionnaire to 32 Generation Z employee respondents. The data were analyzed using validity, reliability, and simple linear regression tests with the help of SPSS version 22. The results showed that the Right to Disconnect had a positive and significant effect on work productivity, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.311, meaning that 31.1% of the variation in productivity was explained by the implementation of RTD. These findings indicate that the better the implementation of RTD, the higher the work productivity of employees. RTD has been proven to help psychological detachment, reduce digital fatigue, and increase work focus and efficiency. The practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of organizational policies that respect work time limits to improve employee performance and well-being, especially among Generation Z in the modern retail sector.
