The purpose of this study is to analyze and explain: 1) The influence of risk attitudes on company performance through decisions on the placement of working capital funds for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), 2) The effect of risk attitudes on company performance in SMEs 3) the effect of working capital fund placement decisions on the performance of SMEs.

This study found that overconfidence behavior and risk attitude have a significant influence on investment decision making. Mental accounting doesn’t have a significant influence on investment decision making. The more investors are willing to face risks and the higher the overconfidence will increase investment decisions. The number of investors who are risk seekers in the capital market is a natural thing because stock investment is included in the high-risk investment category. Mental accounting can not influence the investment decision making.
