Consumptive behavior among Generation Z has become an important issue to study due to increasing access to social media and online shopping platforms, which may encourage excessive consumption among adolescents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self management and consumptive behavior among Generation Z students at MA Al Falah Sumber Gayam. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. Probability sampling with random sampling was used to select the participants, and the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula. The results showed a significant relationship between self management and consumptive behavior among Generation Z students at MA Al Falah Sumber Gayam, Kadur, Pamekasan, as indicated by a significance value of < 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). The correlation coefficient was −0.764, indicating a strong negative relationship between the two variables. This negative direction indicates that the two variables move in opposite directions: the higher the students’ self management, the lower their consumptive behavior, and vice versa. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self management skills through guidance and counseling services to help students regulate consumptive behavior more effectively.
