Abstract

This study explores how financial literacy, financial behavior, and financial stress influence investment scam awareness, as well as how this awareness shapes investment decisions among Generation Z in Indonesia. This study applies Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to explain how threat recognition and coping responses explain investors' behavior. Quantitative approach was used for this research with data sourced using an online questionnaire survey distributed to Generation Z investors in Indonesia through purposive sampling method. The data were evaluated using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 4 to test the relationships between variables. The findings indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on investment scam awareness, allowing individuals to better recognize fraudulent schemes. In contrast, financial behavior and financial stress show no significant effect on awareness of investment scams. Furthermore, scam awareness does not directly affect investment decisions, but risk tolerance was proven to moderate this relationship. These findings show that although financial literacy improves scam awareness, investment decisions are also shaped by other factors. This work offers additional insight to existing literature by delivering a deeper understanding of how financial determinants shape investment decision-making in fraudulent investment contexts, especially among Generation Z investors in Indonesia.

Abstract

While FinTech is rapidly reshaping Indonesia’s financial landscape, there remains limited understanding of how young users, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, evaluate the trade-offs between perceived benefits and risks within this context. Addressing this gap, this study examines FinTech users in Surabaya (n = 142 valid responses) using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal a clear behavioral pathway in which monetary and non-monetary benefits do not directly influence FinTech adoption. Instead, these benefits significantly enhance Financial Inclusion, which functions as a critical prerequisite for adoption. Risk perceptions operate at different stages of the process. Security concerns significantly reduce perceived Financial Inclusion, while regulatory ambiguity directly weakens FinTech adoption. In contrast, financial risk shows no significant behavioral effect. The results further indicate that FinTech adoption does not significantly contribute to societal sustainability, suggesting that broader social outcomes depend more on structural and institutional enablers than on individual uptake alone. Overall, this study clarifies the central mediating role of Financial Inclusion and underscores the importance of secure user experiences and clear regulatory frameworks in translating digital participation into sustainable societal impact.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) disclosure and earnings management in the Indonesian banking. The research addresses whether SDG disclosure reflects a symbolic or substantive legitimacy strategy by examining its association with opportunistic accounting behavior. The sample comprises the listed Indonesian banks for the 2016 to 2023 period, yielding 157 firm-year observations. Regression analysis with robust standard errors is employed to test the hypotheses and explore the moderating role of PSAK 71 in the relationship. The findings reveal that SDGs disclosure is positively associated with earnings management. Moreover, this relationship becomes stronger after PSAK 71 implementation, which implies enhanced managerial discretion, suggesting a symbolic function. These results are consistent for overall SDG disclosure, across SDG pillars, and across model specifications. These findings suggest that sustainability disclosure may be used as a channel for opportunistic behavior, particularly in contexts where accounting changes expand the scope of managerial discretion.

Abstract

Comparative quantitative approach utilized to evaluate Indonesia's financial performance in manufacturing, mining, and infrastructure sectors from 2014 to 2022 from PCT POV. Utilizing secondary data from audited financial statements, the study finds that the manufacturing sector indicated stagnant performance. The final research sample consists of 103 manufacturing, 31 mining, and 23 infrastructure companies. Three analysis stages involved: Descriptive statistics, calculating the mean values each financial sector. Paired-sample t-tests (within-firm comparisons) evaluating a one-tailed hypothesis that performance in 2022 is higher than in 2014. Lastly, the test results interpretation follows standard significance testing procedures (1%, 5%, and 10% significance level) using STATA, In contrast, the mining sector showed significant improvement in asset utilization, liquidity, and profitability, confirming the hypothesis of progress. On the contrary, the infrastructure sector displayed declines in asset turnover and profitability, leading to the rejection of the hypothesis regarding its progress. Factors like foreign investment and operational challenges in the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors are discussed.
