The COVID-19 pandemic has had a wide impact on the psychological condition and well-being of employees. This is pertinent, especially to Generation Z employees, as the second largest generation in Jakarta. Conditions during the pandemic resulted in a host of problems for Generation Z employees, which will lead to a fall in their job performance. In the”happy worker hypothesis”, job performance is directly influenced by job satisfaction. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the influence of job satisfaction on the job performance of Generation Z employees after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used a causal associative model. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with several criteria that needed to be fulfilled, which finally resulted in 389 respondents. This study used two psychological instruments: the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) developed by Weiss et al. (1967) to measure job satisfaction and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) developed by Koopmans (2014) to measure job performance. The hypothesis test used was a simple linear analysis. The results discovered that job satisfaction affects job performance significantly and positively. This means that higher job satisfaction is followed by an increase in job performance in Generation Z employees after the COVID-19 pandemic (t = 0.684; p=0.000<0.05; R2=0.504). Job satisfaction had a 50.4% influence on job performance.
