From the population, there are two hundred (200) female lectures from a state university and private universities have selected as a sample of study by quota sampling method. The data collection techniques used in this research are interviews and surveys. Multiple regressions was chosen to get results with the SPSS tools. Main Findings: There is an influence of financial knowledge, financial self-efficacy, financial literacy, and emotional intelligence to the financial management behavior of female lecturers at state universities while there is no influence of financial attitude, financial literacy, and emotional intelligence to the financial management [behavior] of female university lecturers in private universities. Applications of this study: The results of this study will be beneficial for financial institutions and governments that usually hold education and training programs for their customers to increase financial knowledge so as to increase the confidence of their customers (including lecturers) in their ability to manage finance. Furthermore, this knowledge will be conveyed back to the students of the lecturer in the learning process about finance, so that it will indirectly increase the financial literacy of their students and society at large. Novelty/Originality of this study: Many researches about financial behavior topics have analyzed financial information factors’ influence on financial management behavior, but few of them have included psychological factors such as financial self-efficacy and emotional intelligence. This distinguishes this research compared to other studies of financial behavior as it analyzes the two effects of psychological factors on financial management behavior. Another novelty of this study is the selection of female lecturer as research object as their characteristic as well-informed and well-educated about financial management that has not observed by previous studies.

The purpose of this research is to provide some insights into financial literacy among undergraduate students focusing primarily on the relationship between financial knowledge, financial attitudes and financial behavior and on possible gender and financial education gap in financial literacy. Using the purposive sampling technique, data collection was carried out from April to June 2020, yielding a sample of 1,046 valid responses. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between financial behaviour, financial attitudes and financial knowledge, we, primarily, use exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression model. The research findings have revealed several important issues. First, findings have suggested that financial knowledge, financial attitudes and gender may be considered as an antecedent of the financial behaviour of undergraduate students. Second, findings have also suggested a statistically - significant difference between the financial literacy of undergraduate students concerning their exposure to formal financial education.

PurposeThe study examines the antecedents of responsible financial management behavior among young adults in India and explores the role of financial risk tolerance as a moderating variable.Design/methodology/approachThe sample includes young adults in the age group of 18–35. The analysis uses a two-step approach via standard partial least squares structural modeling (PLS-SEM) and ordinary least square (OLS) regression.FindingsStructural modeling results show that financial attitude fully mediates the relationship between financial knowledge and responsible financial management behavior, and locus of control influences responsible financial management behavior. Financial risk tolerance moderates the relationship. Among demographic factors, age and occupation influence responsible financial management behavior.Research limitations/implicationsThe financial knowledge used in the survey are based on self-reported responses. The future study can include participants from both developed and emerging countries to assess similarities and differences.Practical implicationsDespite the growing focus on improving financial literacy, there are growing concerns regarding responsible financial behavior. Since financial services is related to fiduciary responsibility, managers and policymakers need to ensure that financial knowledge results in improving financial attitude, which further leads to responsible financial behavior.Originality/valueThe present study from an emerging country will add value to the literature.

ABSTRACT Background Residents graduate from medical school with increasing levels of debt and also may possess poor financial knowledge and practices. Prior studies have assessed resident financial knowledge and interest in financial education, yet additional information regarding their attitudes about personal finance and financial planning could be essential for the development of relevant curricula. Objective We assessed baseline financial attitudes and planning behaviors of internal medicine and internal medicine–pediatrics residents in 3 geographically diverse academic programs. Methods A modified version of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority National Financial Capability survey was administered anonymously to residents in 3 programs in spring 2017. Outcomes included levels of educational debt, positive financial planning behaviors, perception of finances and debt, and education about personal finance. Results Response rate was 62% (184 of 298). Rates of educational debt were high, with 81% (149 of 184) of respondents reporting educational debt, and the majority owing more than $100,000. Residents' financial practices were variable, and residents could be grouped into 1 of 3 categories—concerned-engaged, concerned-unengaged, and unconcerned-unengaged—based on their engagement with debt and financial management. Residents with high debt (> $250,000) had a bimodal distribution of respondents who strongly agreed and those who strongly disagreed they were concerned about debt. Conclusions Resident financial attitudes and practices are variable, ranging from highly engaged residents actively managing their financial wellness to unengaged residents who have low concern, despite high educational debt.
