Abstract

This study investigates the effects of financial literacy, digital financial literacy, financial attitudes, and hedonistic lifestyles on financial behavior with self-efficacy and locus of control as mediating variables. The study used qualitative approach with survey design involving 200 students at State University of Makassar. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicated that financial literacy, digital financial literacy, and hedonistic lifestyle significantly influence to self-efficacy. In contrast, financial attitude does not have a statistically significant effect on self-efficacy. Furthermore, financial literacy, digital financial literacy, and financial attitude significantly influence to locus of control, while hedonistic lifestyle does not exert a meaningful influence on this construct. Concerning financial behavior, both of financial literacy and financial attitude show significant direct effect, whereas digital financial literacy and hedonistic lifestyle do not exhibit significant direct relationships. In addition, self-efficacy has a significant effect on financial behavior, while locus of control does not significantly predict this outcome. The mediation analysis indicates that only hedonistic lifestyle has a significant indirect effect on financial behavior through self-efficacy, whereas other indirect effect through self-efficacy and locus of control are not statistically significant. These findings suggest that self-efficacy functions as a more salient psychological mechanism than locus of control in connecting cognitive determinants and lifestyle orientation to financial behavior. This study's will contribute to the theoretical literature by clarifying the differential role of self-efficacy and locus of control. It offers practical implications, emphasizing that improving students’ financial behavior requires strengthening their confidence in financial decision-making and enhancing financial literacy.

Abstract

The development of the contemporary labor market demands that university graduates possess not only technical skills but also interpersonal and professional competencies that support work readiness. In this context, internship programs serve as a critical vehicle for developing employability skills through authentic work experiences. This study aims to identify and describe the employability skills developed through the internship experiences of Business Administration students at the Customer Service Unit (ULP) of PT PLN (Persero). A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected from student internship reports, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) through the processes of open coding, categorization, and theme abstraction. The findings reveal that the employability skills developed encompass two principal dimensions: hard employability skills and soft employability skills. Soft employability skills developed more prominently than hard employability skills, attributable to the nature of work in the Customer Service Unit, which demands intensive customer interaction and coordination within an organizational setting. The combination of these skills also constitutes transferable competencies that contribute to long-term employability. This study yields implications for curriculum development and internship programs oriented toward the integration of technical and non-technical skills in preparing graduates for the professional world.
