Abstract

The Indonesia technology-based startups industry is experiencing significant growth over the last couple of years. With the characteristics of agile business models, this industry draws significant attention among youth generations and specially, those who were born under the Generation Z demographic cohort. Motives that constitute their intentions to apply become a specific area continues to explore, and up to today are considered lagging in their empirical evidence. Above all, the role of three antecedents against the intention to apply for jobs are explored, which are the job characteristics, employer knowledge, and organizational attractiveness. Using cross-sectional design, this study engaged with convenience sampling methods to collect primary data, resulting in 305 data from students of Generation-Z in a leading university in Indonesia. From the results of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method, this study finds that each of the determinants has a significant positive influence on the intention to apply for a job. As a part of theoretical contribution, this study finds that organizational effectiveness strongly mediates the relationship between job characteristics and employer knowledge with the decision to apply in a job in technology-based startups in Indonesia, while other causalities are strongly supported. Empirical contributions, research limitations, and invitations for further research avenues are explained.
