Abstract

This study examined the factors that impacted work engagement for Gen Z employees. Six factors were identified for analysis and hypothesized to be positively related to employee engagement, including corporate social responsibility, leadership – transformational and transactional, work-life balance, autonomy, and technology. 

The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that transformational leadership had the strongest influence on employee engagement, while transactional leadership had no impact. Autonomy and work-life balance were shown to have positive influences on employee engagement; technology and corporate social responsibility were not significant.
