Abstract

This study investigates the impact of financial literacy, individual spiritual intelligence, peer group, and love of money on personal financial management among the multigenerational caregivers (sandwich generation) in Medan City, with locus of control serving as a mediating factor. Utilizing a quantitative, associative research design, data were gathered from 96 respondents via structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The analysis reveals that both financial literacy and individual spiritual intelligence significantly enhance personal financial management and contribute to a stronger locus of control. Although the peer group exerts a significant influence on locus of control, its direct impact on personal financial management is not statistically significant. In contrast, love of money demonstrates a significant positive effect on personal financial management, while its effect on locus of control remains insignificant. Furthermore, locus of control significantly improves personal financial management and mediates the relationships between the independent variables and financial management practices. The findings underscore the potential of targeted financial education, initiatives to bolster spiritual intelligence, and the cultivation of supportive peer networks to enhance financial management among the sandwich generation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how individual and socioeconomic factors, namely Lifestyle, Position, and Financial Literacy influence a person’s ability to manage their finances, with a particular focus on the mediating role of Income. Employing a quantitative and explanatory research approach, the study gathered data from 100 respondents and utilized path analysis through the PLS (Partial Least Squares) software to evaluate the relationships among the variables. The analysis reveals that Lifestyle, Position, Financial Literacy, and Income all have a direct and statistically significant effect on Financial Management. Furthermore, Lifestyle, Position, and Financial Literacy each have a notable impact on Income, suggesting their importance in shaping one’s earning potential. Income, in turn, functions as an effective mediator, strengthening the indirect effects of the three independent variables on Financial Management. These findings underscore the importance of financial awareness and personal development, especially for young workers in East Medan City. By enhancing their financial literacy, recognizing the influence of their social and occupational status, and applying intentional strategies in planning, budgeting, monitoring, and securing their finances, they can achieve better financial outcomes and long-term stability.
