Abstract

Turnover intention among Generation Z employees is an important retention concern in Sleman Regency. This cross-sectional study examined associations of work-life balance, work stress, and workload with turnover intention. Using purposive sampling, 108 usable questionnaires were analyzed by multiple linear regression in IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The overall model was significant (F = 14.592, p < 0.001; R² = 0.296; adjusted R² = 0.276). Work-life balance showed a negative but non-significant association (B = -0.009, p = 0.858), whereas work stress (B = 0.200, p = 0.003) and workload (B = 0.191, p = 0.001) showed positive significant associations. Workload had the largest numerical standardized coefficient (β = 0.326), followed by work stress (β = 0.298), without a formal coefficient-comparison test. The findings support prioritizing manageable workloads and stress prevention while maintaining balance-supportive practices.
