Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates key determinants of personal financial management behaviour among Indonesian millennials, focusing on the roles of financial literacy, attitude toward money, locus of control, and financial socialisation sources, including parents, peers, media, and social media.Methodology – Data were collected through an online questionnaire using purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).Findings – The results show that financial socialisation, parental socialisation, social media, and peer and media influences positively affect millennials’ attitudes toward money and financial management behaviour. External locus of control does not directly influence financial behavior but indirectly mediates the effects of financial socialization and peer and media influence. Attitude toward money mediates the influence of family financial socialization and peer and media exposure. In contrast, financial literacy mediates the impact of family financial socialization, peers, media, and locus of control on financial behavior.Originality/Novelty – This study offers an integrated model that combines psychological factors and diverse financial socialization agents to explain millennial financial behavior. This area remains underexplored in the Indonesian context.Implications – The findings highlight the need for targeted financial education initiatives that strengthen socialization pathways and enhance financial literacy to improve millennials’ financial management practices.

Abstract

Purpose  –  This study aims to analyze the influence of income, financial planning, and financial literacy on the financial management of Muslim MSMEs in Kudus Regency. Design/Methodology/Approach – A quantitative approach was applied in this study by distributing questionnaires using purposive sampling to 96 Muslim MSMEs in Kudus. The collected primary data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS 3 software. The analysis included measurement model evaluation, structural model evaluation, bootstrapping, coefficient of determination, and model fit assessment. Findings/Results – The empirical results show that income (β = 0.439, p < 0.001) and financial planning (β = 0.386, p = 0.009) have positive and statistically significant effects on the financial management of Muslim MSMEs in Kudus. Conversely, financial literacy does not have a statistically significant effect (β = 0.119, p = 0.160), indicating that financial knowledge alone does not necessarily translate into effective financial management practices within this specific socio-religious context. The model demonstrates explanatory power (R² = 0.651) and highlights the roles of income and financial planning in shaping financial management behavior. These findings indicate that financial capacity and structured planning are more directly associated with financial management outcomes in this context. Originality/Value – This study extends the behavioral finance literature by contextualizing the findings within a specific religio-regional ecosystem. It uses the local cultural philosophy of "Gusjigang" as an analytical lens to deconstruct the literacy paradox and explain why standard conventional financial indicators fail to translate into concrete financial management practices among traditional Muslim traders.
