The Influence of the Hybrid Working System and Work Discipline on the Work Productivity of Generation Z Employees at PT Solomon Indo Global

Introduction

The influence of the hybrid working system and work discipline on the work productivity of generation z employees at pt solomon indo global. Analyze the influence of hybrid working systems and work discipline on Generation Z employee productivity. Discover how flexibility and technology drive Gen Z output effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of hybrid working systems and work discipline on the work productivity of Generation Z employees at PT Solomon Indo Global. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 33 Gen Z employees using structured questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression. The results reveal that the hybrid working system has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity (t = 2.358; p = 0.025), reflected in improved work flexibility, effective use of digital technology, and output-based performance management. Work discipline shows a positive but partially non-significant effect on productivity (t = 1.546; p = 0.132), though it contributes positively within the regression model. Simultaneous testing indicates that both hybrid working and work discipline jointly and significantly influence employee productivity (F = 18.324; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.550 indicates that 55% of the variation in employee productivity is explained by the two variables. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of hybrid working for Generation Z employees relies more on system flexibility and technological support, while work discipline serves as a supporting factor. The managerial implication is that organizations need to design adaptive work systems accompanied by clear performance standards and outcome-based monitoring mechanisms to ensure sustainable productivity.

Review

This study provides a timely and relevant examination of the factors influencing the work productivity of Generation Z employees within the contemporary work environment. By focusing on the hybrid working system and work discipline, the research addresses critical areas of organizational management. The quantitative explanatory approach, employing multiple linear regression, effectively identifies key relationships, particularly the significant positive impact of hybrid working on Gen Z productivity. The finding that 55% of the variation in productivity is explained by these two variables highlights their substantial combined influence, offering valuable insights for organizations seeking to optimize their work models for this demographic. While the study presents compelling findings, several methodological considerations warrant attention. The sample size of 33 Generation Z employees from a single company (PT Solomon Indo Global) is quite small, which may limit the generalizability of the findings and potentially impact the statistical power, particularly when assessing individual variable effects. The description of work discipline having a "positive but partially non-significant effect" (p = 0.132) needs careful interpretation; typically, a p-value above 0.05 is considered non-significant, irrespective of the coefficient's sign. Further explanation on how "partially non-significant" is defined or its implications within the context of the model would strengthen this point. Additional detail on the specific measures used for productivity, hybrid working, and work discipline would also enhance the study's methodological rigor and transparency. Despite these limitations, the paper offers practical implications, emphasizing the need for adaptive work systems, clear performance standards, and outcome-based monitoring. To build upon this research, future studies could benefit from larger, more diverse samples across multiple organizations to enhance generalizability. Incorporating qualitative data could provide deeper insights into the mechanisms through which hybrid work influences Gen Z productivity and how work discipline is perceived and practiced by this generation. Exploring mediating or moderating variables, such as leadership styles or technological proficiency, could also enrich the understanding of these complex relationships. Overall, this study serves as a valuable initial exploration, laying the groundwork for more comprehensive investigations into the future of work for Generation Z.
