The Role of Self-Efficacy, Value Congruence, and Work Well-Being on Employee Commitment: An Empirical Study on the Millennial Generation in Indonesia

Employee commitment plays an essential role in determining performance at work. Besides that, the joining of the Millennial generation with their different characteristics and values in the workforce has brought new challenges to strategic human resource management. Therefore, it becomes urgent and important to understand as well as increase employee commitment, especially for the Millennial employees. Nevertheless, studies related to the influence of value congruence, self-efficacy, and work well-being on commitment at work are still challenging to find in Indonesia. This research aims to examine the role of value congruence, self-efficacy, and work well-being on employee organizational commitment, especially on the Millennial generation in Indonesia. Data were collected through a survey of 256 Millennial employees in Jakarta, Indonesia. We found that value congruence and self-efficacy were positively related to employee work well-being and organizational commitment, while employee work well-being mediates the association between value congruence and self-efficacy toward employee organizational commitment. Furthermore, the managerial implications and issues for future research were discussed.
