Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of social influence and financial knowledge on fintech adoption, as well as to examine the moderating role of financial management behavior in strengthening or weakening this relationship among university students. Research Design & Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method with university students as respondents. The data analysis technique utilized is Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine both direct relationships and moderation effects among the variables in the research model.Findings: The research results indicate that social influence and financial knowledge have a positive and significant effect on fintech adoption. Meanwhile, financial management behavior does not directly affect fintech adoption but is proven to act as a significant moderating variable. Specifically, financial management behavior moderates the relationship between social influence and fintech adoption, as well as between financial knowledge and fintech adoption. An R-square value of 0.714 indicates that the model possesses strong explanatory power.Implications & Recommendations: Increased fintech adoption depends not only on financial literacy but also on the development of sound financial management behaviors. Therefore, it is recommended that the government, educational institutions, and fintech service providers integrate financial literacy education with the reinforcement of financial behaviors and leverage social influence as a strategy to boost adoption. Contribution & Value Added: This study contributes to the literature by integrating social, cognitive, and behavioral factors into a comprehensive model. Furthermore, it adds to the empirical evidence regarding the role of financial management behavior as a moderating variable in the context of fintech adoption, particularly among university students.

Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the partial effects of the independent variables on investment decisions.Findings: Empirical findings indicate that financial literacy, financial efficacy, locus of control, and financial behavior all have a positive and significant influence on investment decisions among university students. Among these factors, financial behavior exerts the strongest influence, highlighting the crucial role of responsible financial practices in shaping students' investment decisions.Implications: These findings indicate that universities, policymakers, and financial institutions must develop integrated financial education programs that strengthen not only financial knowledge but also financial confidence, personal control, and responsible financial behavior. Students need to enhance their investment knowledge and develop disciplined financial practices to support sound investment decisions.Contribution & Value Added: This study contributes to the investment decision-making literature by integrating cognitive, psychological, and behavioral determinants into a single framework. The findings specifically highlight the crucial role of financial behavior in shaping students' investment decisions and offer practical insights for designing more comprehensive financial education programs for young investors.
