Abstract
This study aims to identify, examine, and analyze the influence of supervisors’ leadership styles and the work environment on the performance of Gen Z employees at Imadji Kopi in Denpasar. A notable trend is the increasing number of Gen Z employees in the coffee shop industry, who possess characteristics distinct from previous generations, thereby requiring appropriate leadership approaches and work environments to optimize their performance. This study employed a quantitative method, utilizing a questionnaire distributed to Gen Z employees working at several Imadji Kopi locations in Denpasar. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results indicate that supervisors’ leadership styles and the work environment have a positive and significant effect on Gen Z employees’ performance. This confirms that implementing the appropriate leadership style and creating a conducive work environment can enhance overall employee performance.
