Di era digital ini, organisasi menghadapi peningkatan turnover Generasi Z, sehingga retensi sebagai upaya strategis perusahaan untuk mempertahankan tenaga kerja menjadi semakin krusial. Meskipun employee engagement dan workforce agility berperan penting dalam mendukung efektivitas strategi retensi, bukti empiris mengenai keterkaitan keduanya dalam konteks karyawan Generasi Z masih terbatas. Tujuan penelitian yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh workforce agility terhadap retensi yang dimediasi employee engagement pada karyawan gen z di era digital. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu mediasi menggunakan sampel sebanyak 100 orang karyawan gen z. Dalam mengukur variabel digunakan skala Employee Engagement Scale (Astari et al., 2022), Workforce Agility (Sherehiy dan Karwowski, 2014), dan Retensi (Mathis dan Jackson, 2016). Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa (1) Workforce agility berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap retensi berarti semakin tinggi workforce agility maka semakin tingginya retensi; (2) Workforce agility berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap employee engagement berarti semakin tinggi workforce agility maka akan semakin tingginya employee engagement; (3) Retensi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap employee engagement berarti semakin tinggi retensi maka akan semakin tingginya employee engagement; (4) Terdapat pengaruh antara variabel workforce agility terhadap retensi yang dimediasi oleh employee engagement pada karyawan di era digital. Kesimpulan penelitian yaitu employee engagement dapat memediasi pengaruh workforce agility terhadap retensi secara parsial. Sehingga, pentingnya meningkatkan employee engagement dan workforce agility melalui pelatihan adaptasi digital, budaya kerja kolaboratif, serta lingkungan kerja yang fleksibel guna berkontribusi dalam retensi karyawan Generasi Z di era digital.
