Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, risk perception, and income on investment decisions with self-efficacy as an intervening variable in Generation Z of GBKP Gem Binjai City. This type of research is quantitative with a causal approach using a survey method. The research population is all members of Generation Z of Permata GBKP Binjai City which totals 250 people, with a sample of 71 respondents using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling techniques. Data was collected through a questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results of the study show that financial literacy, income, and risk perception do not have a significant direct effect on investment decisions. However, these three variables have a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy, with income having the strongest influence, followed by risk perception and financial literacy. Self-efficacy has been shown to have a positive and significant effect on investment decisions, and plays a role as a full mediator in the relationship between financial literacy and income on investment decisions. The research model has good predictive ability with moderate categories for investment decisions and self-efficacy, and shows excellent predictive relevance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Financial Literacy, Income, and Lifestyle on Financial Management with Locus of Control as a mediating variable in employees of PT Alfa Scorpii Main Dealer Medan. This study uses a quantitative method with a causal associative approach. The study population was all contract employees of the operation section totaling 40 people, and used saturated sampling techniques. The data analysis technique used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with SmartPLS software. The results of the study show that: Lifestyle has a positive and significant effect on the Locus of Control and Financial Management; Financial Literacy has a positive and significant effect on the Locus of Control and Financial Management; Revenue has a positive and significant effect on the Locus of Control and Financial Management; Financial Management has a positive and significant effect on the Locus of Control. The results of the mediation test showed that Financial Management was able to mediate the influence of Lifestyle on the Locus of Control and Income on the Locus of Control, but was unable to mediate the influence of Financial Literacy on the Locus of Control. The R-Square value shows that independent variables are able to explain Locus of Control by 56.4% and Financial Management by 35.5%, with a Q² value of 0.719 which indicates that the model has strong predictive relevance. This study concludes that Financial Literacy, Income, and Lifestyle are important factors that affect employee Financial Management, and Financial Management plays a role as a partial mediator in increasing the Locus of Control of employees of PT Alfa Scorpii Main Dealer Medan.  An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone.  A well-prepared
