Abstract:

Central Statistics Agency (BPS) found that the mental health of the young generation, especially those within 17–30 years is decreasing. Increasing in termination of employment by various companies also caused employees to feel afraid of losing their jobs. Then, employees also face organizational changes, such as the start of a work-from-home culture. These three things can be influenced by psychological capital factors. This study seeks to ascertain the impact of psychological capital on the mental health, job insecurity, and adjustments in organisational skills of Jakarta's millennial age workforce. A non-probability sampling methodology was employed to distribute questionnaires to 400 respondents as part of the study process, which took a quantitative approach. According to the study's findings, psychological capital significantly affected millennial generation workers' mental health as well as how prepared they were to handle organisational change and job instability.
