Psychological Capital, Job Satisfaction, Emotional ExhaustionAbstract
There is a phenomenon currently occurring in society, namely job hopping behavior. A job hopper is someone who job hops, leaving a job quickly, or in general, he only stays for a few years. This trend is not only occurring in Indonesia, but also a global phenomenon closely related to the dynamics of the increasingly flexible labor market and the characteristics of the younger generation of workers. This study uses a quantitative research method. The population of this study is millennial generation employees working in Semarang City with a sample size of 100 employees. The sampling method is a purposive sampling method. Meanwhile, hypothesis testing uses multiple regression analysis techniques with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that the Psychological Capital variable influences job hopping. Job satisfaction does not influence job hopping, and Emotional Exhaustion has a negative effect on job hopping. Meanwhile, simultaneously, Psychological Capital, job satisfaction, and Emotional Exhaustion have a positive and significant effect on job hopping.
