Abstract

Background - The transformation of digital investment behavior has made social media the main source of information, but the high credibility of finfluencers has the potential to trigger a flood of information overload that affects investors' rationality. Purpose – This study aims to analyze the influence of finfluencers' credibility on the quality of individual investors' investment decisions through the role of information overload mediation and the role of financial literacy moderation. Method – The research method uses a quantitative approach with a survey design of 270 individual capital market investors in Indonesia who were selected using the purposive sampling technique, where structural model testing is carried out simultaneously using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS).  Finding/Results – The results show that the credibility of finfluencers has a positive and significant effect on information overload, while information overload is proven to have a significant negative effect on reducing the quality of investors' investment decisions. The mediation analysis confirmed that information overload significantly mediated the influence of finfluencers' credibility on the quality of investment decisions, while the moderation analysis proved that good financial literacy was able to weaken the negative impact of information overload. Conclusion – The conclusion of this research emphasizes that the abundance of digital information from credible sources does not necessarily increase the accuracy of economic actions, but rather requires a cognitive fortress in the form of financial skills so that the quality of investment decisions is maintained rationally.
