This study aims to understand the causes of stress and the coping mechanisms used by Generation Z (Gen Z) employees in the workplace. Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is characterized by high digital literacy and expectations for work-life balance and meaningful employment. Using a qualitative approach, this research explores their stress experiences and coping strategies in dealing with workplace challenges such as performance pressure, economic uncertainty, and social media influence. The findings reveal that Gen Z tends to adopt a mix of adaptive and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Effective strategies such as seeking social support, meditation, and physical exercise positively impact their performance and well-being. This study highlights the crucial role of organizations in creating supportive work environments and offering stress management training to help Gen Z employees adapt and thrive.
