Abstrak

This study explores the influence of organizational culture, leadership style, and generational differences on employee loyalty to the company. Employee loyalty is a critical factor for organizations seeking long-term success and competitiveness, as loyal employees are more engaged, productive, and committed. The research uses a qualitative approach based on literature review and library research to understand the interactions between organizational culture, leadership style, and the generational factors that impact employee loyalty. Organizational culture is a key determinant in shaping employees' attitudes and behaviors, influencing their level of commitment and engagement with the company. Leadership style, whether transformational, transactional, or laissez-faire, also plays a significant role in motivating employees and fostering a sense of loyalty. Additionally, the study highlights the growing importance of understanding generational differences in the workforce, as Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z exhibit distinct values, expectations, and work preferences. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these factors collectively influence employee loyalty and offer insights for organizations to enhance loyalty across different generations. The findings suggest that a positive organizational culture, combined with effective leadership that aligns with the expectations of different generations, can significantly improve employee loyalty. The study recommends that companies invest in developing a supportive work environment, adaptive leadership strategies, and policies that recognize generational differences to foster loyalty and reduce turnover.
