The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of five independent variables which are work autonomy, transformational leadership, meaningful work, workplace friendship and work life balance towards the dependent variable which is workplace happiness amongst Gen Z employees, a new generation that has started their journey in the “work environment”. The data collected through digital survey questionnaires from 482 respondents using the snow ball convenient method. Self Determination Theory (SDT) is used as the underpinning theory to support this study. Results shown that there was significant positive relationship between transformational leadership, meaningful work and work life balance towards Gen Z’s happiness in the work place while no significant relationship was found for the remaining two independent variables; work autonomy and workplace friendship. This study helps organizations and employers to better understand Gen Z’s focus and needs in their work environment so as to ensure better attraction and employee retention.
