Abstract

As number of millennial employees grows and soon will dominate global workforces, managers have been uncertain about how to manage millennial employees due to their distinctive values and aspirations. In relation to the circumstance, whilst employees’ job performance has been investigated in many studies, there have been limited studies on this subject among the millennials. In order to bridge the research gap, the present study intends to investigate factors that give influence to the job performance of millennial employees. Data in this research were obtained from a survey to millennial employees in Indonesia. Results of this study proved that factors of motivation, training, responsible leadership, and employee well-being bring positive influences on job performance. Moreover, the factor of employee well-being mediates the influences of motivation, training, and responsible leadership on job performance. This study contributes in providing additional evidences on the characteristics of millennials in the workplace, wherein managers should take into account when they expect high job performance from the millennials.
