How can I solve z(z-1)=1 using MATLAB. z is a complex variable. Is there any direct method? I did it separating the real part and imaginary part.

Expand the expression:
z*(z-1)=1
z^2-z=1
z^2-z-1=0
This is a quadratic equation which can be solved by standard methods,
roots([1,-1,-1])
You will find that the solutions have no imaginary components.

Thanks for your answer. But for any general equation in Z, does MATLAB has a direct solver?

No. There is no direct solver that is suitable for "any general equation" even in reals.
The Symbolic Toolbox is able to solve a fair variety of equations over complex numbers.
The only general solving routine outside of the Symbolic Toolbox that I have found that is able to handle complex numbers directly, is fgoalattain()
