Abstract

Examining the mediating role of financial behavior on the relationships between financial literacy, financial attitudes, business performance, and the sustainability of MSMEs in Jayapura City is the aim of this study. It is anticipated that the analysis will serve as a helpful guide for the next studies. This study is quantitative in nature and tests hypotheses using a descriptive methodology. The way that data is gathered is through distributing questionnaires. One tool for data analysis methods is WarpPLS analysis. The findings showed that as a mediating variable between financial literacy and company performance, financial management behavior has a big impact on the sustainability of businesses. This indicates that MSME owners in Jayapura City are aware that taking financial literacy-related actions will assist the long-term viability of their company. Nevertheless, financial management behavior characteristics are unable to moderate the relationship between financial attitudes toward company sustainability among MSME actors in Jayapura City. It is anticipated that similar future studies can be conducted with a moderation or intervention approach and apply wider data, for example, in provincial-level areas, to create conclusions that are more applicable to the expansion of MSMEs in other locations.

Abstract

This study assesses how financial technology (fintech) has helped MSMEs in Jayapura City and Jayapura Regency improve their financial behavior. This study used a quantitative methodology with associative and moderation techniques to gather data via questionnaires, which WarpPLS was then used to analyze. The study's findings demonstrate that financial behavior, which aids in cash flow management and guards against mistakes that could result in bankruptcy, is significantly influenced by financial literacy. Furthermore, MSME entrepreneurs' good financial behavior is positively influenced by personality traits like thoroughness and openness, particularly regarding capital management and investment decisions. Fintech, however, cannot moderate the relationship between financial behavior and financial literacy because these digital tools cannot close the knowledge gaps in finance that must be addressed to make wise financial decisions. Similarly, personality traits like neuroticism and extroversion influence an individual's financial behavior more than technology use. Therefore, fintech cannot moderate the association between financial personality and behavior. These results can guide local governments and universities in offering financial management and digital training to MSME actors, boosting regional financial inclusion
