WORK VALUES OF MILLENIAL GENERATION AND HUMAN RESOURCE RESILIENCE: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY AT PERUM JASA TIRTA II TOWARD GREEN ECONOMY TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

The transition towards a green economy demands changes not only in technology and policy but also in human resources (HR) as the primary driving force. Resilient human resources—capable of adapting, enduring, and innovating amidst change—are key to the success of this process. The millennial generation, which constitutes 56.7% of the total 1,027 employees at Perum Jasa Tirta II, possesses distinct work values and has the potential to serve as key agents in supporting this transformation. This study aims to describe the work values of the millennial employees at Perum Jasa Tirta II and examine the role of these values in shaping resilient HR in the face of challenges and opportunities in the green economy. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaire surveys distributed to millennial employees across various work units. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to identify dominant work value tendencies and perceptions of individual and organizational resilience. Of the 110 respondents, the results show that Supervisory Relations received the highest average score (M = 4.63; SD = 0.61), followed by Surroundings (M = 4.58; SD = 0.58) and Economic Return (M = 4.58; SD = 0.86). Furthermore, the resilience levels indicate that 92% of employees fall into the high resilience category, 8% into the moderate category, and none into the low category. These findings demonstrate strong adaptability and resilience in facing change. An orientation towards meaningful work and adaptability to sustainability serve as crucial foundations for developing strong and innovative human resources. The findings suggest a potential relationship between millennial work values and their readiness to support the company's sustainability initiatives. This study is expected to provide strategic insights for HR management at Perum Jasa Tirta II in strengthening human resource capacity aligned with green economic development and long-term sustainability goals.
