Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of financial literacy and digital access on the success of women-led Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Depok City, Indonesia. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design, involving respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. Financial literacy was measured through indicators related to basic financial knowledge, budgeting practices, record-keeping, loan management, and the use of digital financial products. Digital access was assessed through ownership of digital devices, the use of online platforms for marketing, the adoption of digital financial applications, participation in technology-related training, and the availability of stable internet connectivity. The results of the study show that both financial literacy and digital access have strong and significant positive effects on the success of women-led MSMEs, as reflected in a substantial proportion of variance explained. These findings support Human Capital Theory, the Resource-Based View, the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, and the Dynamic Capabilities Theory, emphasizing the importance of knowledge, skills, and technological adaptability in achieving sustainable competitive advantage. The results highlight the need for integrated empowerment programs that combine financial and digital literacy, strengthened digital infrastructure, and inclusive access to capital to enhance the competitiveness and resilience of women-led MSMEs in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study was motivated by fluctuations in the stock prices of mining sector companies listed in the IDX30 index during 2021–2024, Indonesia’s mineral downstreaming policy, and inconsistencies in previous research findings. This study aimed to analyze the effects of interest rates and financial performance, as measured by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER) and earnings per share (EPS), on the stock prices of IDX30 mining companies and to examine the moderating role of inflation. The population comprised all mining sector companies listed in the IDX30 index during the year 2021–2024, while the sample was selected using purposive sampling. This study employed a quantitative explanatory approach and panel data regression with Moderated Regression Analysis. The results showed that interest rates had a negative and significant effect on stock prices, whereas EPS had a positive and significant effect. DER did not significantly affect stock prices. Furthermore, inflation did not moderate the effects of interest rates, DER, or EPS on stock prices. These findings imply that mining companies should maintain sustainable profitability and consider interest rate dynamics in financial decision-making. Investors should also consider macroeconomic conditions and company fundamentals when formulating investment strategies.

Abstract

Generation Z in Bekasi City faced challenges in personal financial management due to a consumptive lifestyle and easy access to financial technology, which could lead to financial instability if not balanced with adequate financial literacy and self-control. This study aimed to analyze the effect of financial literacy on personal financial management among Generation Z, with locus of control and self-efficacy as mediating variables. The research used a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method on Generation Z respondents in Bekasi City. The results showed that financial literacy had a significant effect on personal financial management, as well as on locus of control and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy had a significant effect on personal financial management and acted as the main mediating variable, while locus of control did not show a significant direct effect but still contributed to the mediation pathway. These findings confirmed that financial literacy was a dominant factor in shaping personal financial management behavior, with self-efficacy serving as a key reinforcement in improving financial decision-making among Generation Z. The implications of this study supported the importance of strengthening financial literacy and financial confidence in financial education programs for young people.
