Method: Respondents were 100 millennial workers born between 1981 and 1996. The research instrument is an online questionnaire using a Likert scale with five answer choices. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling was chosen as the data analysis method. Results: Altruism and work engagement each have a significant positive effect on job satisfaction. Conclusion: This research contributes to efforts to increase job satisfaction of the millennial generation through factors such as altruism and work engagement. Further research can be limited to certain industries or sectors to see the consistency of research results.
