Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of employee engagement mediation in the influence of career path development and talent management practices on employee intention to stay in Generation Z employees at PT BSH. The main theoretical foundation used is Social Exchange Theory (SET), which emphasizes the importance of the mutual relationship between the organization and employees. This study uses a quantitative approach. The population in this study is all generation Z employees who work at PT BSH, with a total sample of 195 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire distributed online. The data analysis tool used is Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) which is processed with the help of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results of the analysis show that career path development and talent management practices have a positive and significant effect on employee intention to stay, both directly and through employee engagement mediation. Employee engagement has been proven to have a significant role as a complementary partial mediation variable in this model.
