THE EFFECT OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION, FINANCIAL REWARDS, AND NON-PHYSICAL WORK ENVIRONMENT ON AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT MEDIATED BY MOTIVATION

Ersa Angelika

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the effect of self-actualization, financial rewards, and non-physical work environment on affective commitment mediated by motivation among Generation Z employees at PT BPR Polatama Kusuma Ngawi. Generation Z is known to have high needs for meaningful work, work-life balance, and opportunities for self-actualization. However, in this company, issues of low motivation and declining emotional attachment have been identified. This research employed a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) as the analytical technique. The findings reveal that self-actualization, financial rewards, and the non-physical work environment significantly influence work motivation, and motivation serves as a mediating variable in the relationship between these three factors and affective commitment. This study provides important implications for management in designing strategies to enhance employee loyalty and motivation, particularly among Generation Z, through approaches that emphasize not only financial aspects but also psychological and social dimensions.

Keywords: self-actualization, financial rewards, non-physical work environment, motivation, affective commitment, Generation Z.
