Generation Z has begun entering the workforce, including as Civil Servants (ASN) in Indonesia, bringing characteristics such as an orientation toward meaningful work, flexibility, and attention to work–life balance. In practice, some members of this generation experience dynamics when their expectations of work differ from the reality encountered, which may affect their level of work engagement, defined as the extent to which individuals demonstrate enthusiasm, dedication, and absorption in their work. One relevant factor in supporting work engagement is workplace spirituality, which emphasizes the alignment between personal values, the meaningfulness of work, and a sense of community in the workplace. This study employed a quantitative approach with simple linear regression on 100 Generation Z civil servants in Banda Aceh, using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9 (UWES-9) and a workplace spirituality scale as instruments. The findings indicated that most respondents had a high level of workplace spirituality, while their work engagement was at an average level. Regression analysis revealed that workplace spirituality has a positive and significant influence on work engagement, contributing 25.7% to the variance observed. These results highlight the importance of workplace spirituality in enhancing the work engagement of Generation Z civil servants through value alignment, meaningful work, and community, although other factors also play a role in optimizing work engagement
