achievements and frequent frequency so as to increase the chances of each AO employee. This also
has an impact on the sense of responsibility of AO employees towards work that is considered lacking.
The composition of AO MSME employees at Bank BJB is mostly filled by generation Z and
millennials. HR consultants on the SHRM website through their research found that almost half (43
percent) of Millennials and 78 percent of the youngest workers surveyed (Gen Z) plan to resign from
their jobs within the next two years. Researchers interviewed 632 people for the survey in April 2019.
The survey was sponsored by daVinci Payments, a payroll technology company. The study found that
giving financial recognition to the two youngest generations in the workplace, even in small ways,
would give those workers a greater sense of personal satisfaction and help improve employee
retention.
Although some employers may perceive these young workers as disloyal or unmotivated, the
reality is they can be turned into an organization's most enthusiastic and valuable resource when they
are rewarded for their work and rewarded in the slightest right way. The willingness of young people
to stay in their current jobs despite being given small rewards that are mostly contributed to daily
living expenses shows that millennial and generation Z employees are shouldering an increasing
financial burden (Dollinger, 2023).
Based on data analysis, it can be seen that the variable Job Satisfaction (X2) has a positive and
significant impact on Employee Performance (Y). This is consistent with the theory proposed by
Mathis and Jackson (2009), which emphasizes that job satisfaction has an important role in improving
employee performance and achieving organizational goals. Handoko (2016) also describes job
satisfaction as an emotional feeling that affects a person's view of his work. When employees are
satisfied with their work, they tend to perform better. This finding is also in line with previous
research by Siregar et al. (2020) and Arda (2017).
Winata (2016) explained that employee job satisfaction has an impact on company
performance. When employees are satisfied with their work, the company tends to perform better
and experience positive growth. Conversely, if employees are not satisfied with their work, this can
result in poor company performance. This is due to the contribution of each employee to the quality
of their work, which in turn affects the overall growth of the company.
The condition of job satisfaction that occurs in AO MSME employees of Bank BJB is included
in the fairly low category. Some indicators that cause low job satisfaction of AO employees are salary
and promotion opportunities. The reality in the field, salaries and incentives provided by companies
to business units, in this case AO employees as the spearhead of MSME credit marketing, are not
distinguished from support units. In fact, the risks of work are obviously different. When viewed from
the career path in other banks, to be able to fill the managerial position level at a bank, a person must
have been placed in a marketing / marketing position, and the position has different incentives from
the support unit.
The majority of AO employees belong to the category of Gen Z and millennials, at their
productive age more have needs that must be met. Because, the average from this age just has a family,
installments of houses or vehicles, and some become the sandwich generation. But in the reality of
their careers, they have just stepped into a career in the world of work, which means that the grade
of work obtained is still relatively low. Thus, this generation will be much more literate about the
salary earned.
