Abstract: Understanding and improving employee job engagement is essential for organizational success in today's corporate environment. This study examines the effects of three important variables on work engagement among Generation Z employees, a group distinguished by distinct socioeconomic origins and attitudes: well-being, career growth, and empowering leadership. With 438 respondents from Indonesia's Generation Z, the study uses a quantitative methodology and reveals some noteworthy conclusions. First of all, it finds a significant and positive relationship between well-being and work engagement, highlighting the role that programs promoting physical and mental wellness have in raising employee engagement. Second, the study emphasizes the critical significance of empowering leadership by showing a robust positive correlation between these leadership philosophies and Generation Z employees' work engagement. Thirdly, it emphasizes how important career development opportunities are in determining how engaged employees are at work. It suggests that options for professional development and progression are important factors in determining employee engagement in this group. Finally, the study reveals a favorable correlation between employee well-being and leadership that emphasizes empowerment, suggesting that leadership styles that prioritize empowerment have a favorable impact on worker wellbeing. Together, these data provide organizations looking to increase job engagement among Generation Z employees with useful information and practical tactics for cultivating a more engaged and effective workforce.
