Employee Performance INTRODUCTION Technological advancements and globalization have brought significant changes to the world of work, particularly with the entry of Generation Z (Gen Z) into the workforce.
Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is known as a highly connected generation with technology and a different perspective on work than previous generations.
They tend to seek flexible, innovative work environments that support personal development.
(Adhan et al.
However.
Gen Z also faces various challenges adapting to work environments that don't always meet their expectations.
This mismatch can impact their performance in the (Ajabar, 2.
One of the factors that can improve employee performance is self-efficacy, namely an individual's belief in their ability to complete tasks and achieve goals.

, 2.
high level of self-efficacy can encourage employees to be more proactive, innovative, and contribute maximally to their work.
Self-efficacy training is one method that can be used to increase employee confidence so they can better face challenges in the workplace.

Self Efficacy Pre-Research Table No.
Statement Are you confident that you can complete the task without the help of others? Do you often doubt your own abilities at work? Yes One of the phenomena from pre-research is the low self-efficacy in some young employees, which is seen from doubts about their ability to complete tasks, passive attitudes in decision-making, and high dependence on superiors or coworkers, which has an impact on low self-confidence, work motivation, and ultimately reduces their performance.
Training Pre-Research Table No.
Statement Does the training material meet your needs as a Gen Z Does the training have a direct impact on daily work? Yes In addition, pre-research results show that corporate training programs are still general and less tailored to the specific needs of Gen Z employees, where some employees feel that training does not have a direct impact on their daily work, while less interactive delivery methods and minimal post-training follow-up reduce its effectiveness in improving skills and work enthusiasm.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Performance Employee performance is the work results achieved by an individual in carrying out all their duties, according to their respective authorities and responsibilities, in order to achieve organizational goals (Farisi et al.
, 2.
Employee performance is often measured based on work results produced over a specific period.
This includes both the quantity .

and quality .
tandards achieve.
of those results.
Employees who are able to meet or exceed set targets are considered to have performed well.

Performance reflects the level of achievement of a program, activity, or policy in realizing an organization's goals, objectives, vision, and mission, as outlined in an organization's strategic planning.
(Hasyim & Pasaribu, 2.
Performance is a record of the outcomes resulting from the function of a particular job or activity during a certain period of time.

Employee performance isn't just information for promotions or salary determination.
It's also about how companies can motivate employees and develop a plan to prevent performance decline.
(Hamali, 2.
Understanding Self-Efficacy Self-efficacyrefers to the perception of an individual's ability to organize and implement actions to display certain skills.
(Dewi, 2.
Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their ability to perform tasks or actions necessary to achieve a goal.
A person with high self-efficacy believes they can do something to change the events around them, while someone with low self-efficacy considers themselves incapable of doing everything around them.
In difficult situations, people with low self-efficacy will give up easily, while those with high self-efficacy will try harder to overcome existing challenges.
(Gee et al.
, 2.
Self-efficacy Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to achieve success in one's work and responsibilities.
The more frequently a person evaluates himself and believes he possesses many positive abilities, the greater his or her sense of efficacy.
Self-efficacy strongly influences an individual's motivation to achieve success or achieve desired goals.
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's own abilities, allowing one to exercise some form of control over one's own well-being and the events in one's (Purnomo et al.

Self-efficacy is an individual's assessment of their ability or competence to carry out a task, achieve a goal, and produce something.

Definition of Training Training is an activity to improve employee capabilities by increasing their knowledge and operational skills in carrying out a job.
Training is a short-term educational process that uses systematic and organized procedures where non-managerial employees learn technical knowledge and skills for limited purposes.
The training provided to employees aims to enable employees to understand the tasks assigned to them while working at the Company (Dewi.
Training is a planned process for changing attitudes, knowledge or behavior that results in expertise and experience in order to achieve effective performance.
Training is useful in developing individual and organizational capabilities in the future.

METHODS
The research conducted consisted of four variables, namely self-efficacy (X.
, training (X.
, and work environment (X.
as independent variables, employee performance (Y) as the dependent variable.
The approach in this research was to use an associative approach.
According to(Juliandi et al.
, 2.
The associative approach is a research approach in which the researcher aims to analyze the relationship between one variable and another.
This research uses a quantitative approach and path analysis, which describes and summarizes various conditions, situations, and variables.
Path analysis is often referred to as the second generation of multivariate analysis.
Data analysis is quantitative/statistical in nature, with the aim of testing predetermined hypotheses.

Classical Assumption Test The classical assumption test is an analytical model used, namely multiple linear regression This study uses normality tests, multicollinearity tests, and heteroscedasticity tests.
The classical assumption tests are as follows:
Normality Test The aim of the normality test is to determine whether the distribution of data follows or approaches a normal distribution.
(Juliandi, 2.
Data normality is important because normally distributed data is considered to represent the population.
