The Impact of Work Stress and Job Satisfaction on The Turnover Intention of Generation Z Employees in Tasikmalaya City

This study examines the effect of work stress and job satisfaction on Generation Z employees' desire to change jobs in Tasikmalaya City. Data were collected through a survey of respondents selected using convenience sampling, then analysed using multiple linear regression. The results show that work stress has a large and significant effect on the intention to change jobs, while job satisfaction does not show a significant effect on its own. These findings indicate that for Generation Z, job satisfaction is not sufficient to reduce the desire to change jobs when work stress is high. Overall, both factors do have an effect, although their contribution to changes in the intention to change jobs is still relatively small. Therefore, there are many other factors such as commitment to the organization n, work culture, leadership style, and career opportunities that also influence the decision to change jobs. The use of convenience sampling is one of the limitations of this study, so the results cannot be widely applied. In general, this study proves that work stress is the main factor that drives Generation Z to leave their jobs.
