Abstract

This study investigates the influence of financial budgeting on financial well-being and examines the moderating role of self-control among employees of Bank Pembangunan Daerah (BPD) Sumsel in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 160 respondents and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 4.0. The results reveal that financial budgeting significantly enhances financial well-being (β = 0.432, p < 0.001), suggesting that individuals who actively plan and manage their finances experience greater financial satisfaction and security. Furthermore, self-control significantly moderates this relationship, indicating that individuals with higher self-control are more capable of converting financial plans into consistent behavior, thus amplifying the positive effects of budgeting on well-being. These findings underscore the importance of integrating psychological dimensions into financial literacy programs. Financial interventions that combine budgeting education with self-control strengthening tools—such as behavioral coaching, commitment devices, or digital nudges—are likely to yield more sustainable improvements in financial well-being. This study contributes to the literature by positioning self-control not only as a personal trait but also as a strategic enabler that bridges the gap between financial planning and financial outcomes, particularly in the context of salaried professionals in emerging economies.

Abstract

This study examines the disconnect between high digital payment adoption and long-term financial planning in an emerging urban economy by investigating whether Financial Self-Efficacy predicts this gap directly or indirectly through FinTech Adoption. Using survey data collected from 149 urban residents of Palembang, Indonesia, comprising 54.4% students and 45.6% workers, the conceptual framework was evaluated using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4. The analysis was complemented by the Heterotrait-Monotrait ratio (HTMT) for discriminant validity assessment, PLSpredict, and Multigroup Analysis (PLS-MGA) with Measurement Invariance of Composite Models (MICOM) testing. The results show that Financial Self-Efficacy significantly predicts FinTech Adoption and has a strong direct effect on Financial Planning Behavior. In contrast, FinTech Adoption does not significantly predict Financial Planning Behavior when Financial Self-Efficacy is controlled for, resulting in a non-significant indirect effect through FinTech Adoption. Furthermore, the multigroup analysis reveals that the predictive effect of Financial Self-Efficacy on FinTech Adoption is nearly twice as strong among students as among workers. These findings suggest that digital convenience alone does not automatically translate into long-term financial discipline. Instead, psychological capability, particularly Financial Self-Efficacy, serves as an important factor linking technology adoption and financial planning behavior, with its predictive strength varying across occupational groups within an emerging urban population.
