Abstract

This study investigates the influence of companions and financial influencers on financial planning among Generation Z in Indonesia, with financial literacy serving as a mediating factor, grounded in Social Learning Theory (SLT). Utilizing a quantitative research design and Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM), the research surveyed 170 Indonesian Gen Z individuals, selected via purposive sampling, who actively engaged with financial content on social media platforms. The findings reveal that companion influence significantly enhances financial literacy and financial planning, affirming the role of close social contacts as effective behavioral models. In contrast, financial influencers do not demonstrate a significant direct or indirect effect on financial literacy or financial planning, suggesting that exposure to digital content alone does not ensure effective financial management. Financial literacy is identified as a crucial mediator in the relationship between companion influence and financial planning, while no similar mediation effect is observed for financial influencers. These results underscore the importance of leveraging trusted social networks to improve financial literacy and highlight the need for critical evaluation of influencer content in shaping financial behaviors among young individuals. The study theoretically contributes by validating SLT in financial socialization and practically suggests prioritizing peer-based learning over passive digital content consumption in financial education programs.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has intensified concerns about job displacement, particularly among undergraduate students preparing to enter the labor market. This study examines the effect of fear of AI replacement on upskilling intention, with career anxiety as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through an online survey from 267 Indonesian undergraduate students in social sciences and humanities disciplines with prior AI experience, of which 202 valid responses were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that fear of AI replacement has a positive and statistically significant effect on both upskilling intention and career anxiety. In addition, career anxiety positively and significantly influences upskilling intention and mediates the relationship between fear of AI replacement and upskilling intention. These findings indicate that fear of AI replacement acts not only as a direct motivational driver but also indirectly encourages upskilling intention through career anxiety as an adaptive psychological response. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the adaptive role of career anxiety in transforming AI-related fear into proactive upskilling intention among undergraduate students and offers practical implications for higher education institutions and policymakers in responding to AI-driven labor market change.
