This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety levels among Generation Z individuals acting as the sandwich generation in Jakarta. These individuals often face dual responsibilities, potentially increasing psychological strain if not supported by strong self-efficacy. Using a quantitative, non-experimental design, the study involved 123 Generation Z respondents in Jakarta. Data were collected through the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS), and analyzed using Spearman correlation. Results showed that most participants had low self-efficacy (55.28%) but were within normal anxiety levels (67.48%), with 30.08% experiencing mild anxiety and 2.44% moderate anxiety. The Spearman analysis revealed a very weak, non-significant negative correlation between self-efficacy and anxiety (r = -0.022, p = 0.808). These findings indicate no significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety in this group. Therefore, psychological interventions and programs to strengthen personal capacity are recommended to support Gen Z in managing their dual roles more effectively. Future research is encouraged to consider potential mediating variables, such as social status, occupation, and education, which may influence both self-efficacy and anxiety.
