Abstract

Background: The mixing of 3 generations (x, millennial / y and z) in the world of work raises differences in the picture of work ethos and attachment. The company has a strategy of creating superior employees. Millennial employees show a desire to be appreciated, maximize work time and prioritize mental health, so that employees can still work in happy conditions and not depressed. Objective: This research shows the importance of happiness and work meaning felt by millennial employees to increase work engagement to the global competition. Method: Systematic literature review by identifying, assessing, and synthesizing literature search results through Google Scholar, Scopus, Research Gate, and Garuda. Results: 12 literature studies show that the work attachment of millennial generation employees is at a moderate level and is still below the work attachment of previous generations. Conclusion: Companies can provide work comfort and opportunities to be actively involved in work so that a sense of meaning arises for the work done to increase employee engagement in the company.
