Siti Robihah Al Maliyah, Hamidah, Hamidah, Widyastuti , Umi
Abstract: This study aims to determine the extent to which financial literacy affects the financial management behavior of MSME actors in DKI Jakarta, by considering the role of attitudes towards financial risk and the use of financial… ncial technology as mediating variables. The background of this study comes from the fact that there are still many MSME players who are not able to manage their finances optimally, even though access to information and digital financial services is quite widespread. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 156 individual business owners and analyzed through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results showed that financial literacy did not have a significant direct effect on financial management behavior. However, financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on financial risk attitudes and financial technology. These two variables directly influence financial management behavior, and act as mediators in the relationship between financial literacy and financial management behavior. These findings emphasize the importance of a financial literacy approach that not only focuses on increasing knowledge, but also includes the formation of rational risk attitudes and the practical use of financial technology. This kind of literacy strategy is considered more relevant and effective in improving the financial management of MSME actors, especially in the current digital era.

Rizki , Kurniady, Pradana, Mahir, Kartawinata, Budi Rustandi
Abstract: The rapid diffusion of Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) services has reshaped consumption in emerging economies. This article  examines how materialistic value orientations stimulate impulsive buying through BNPL usage among Indonesian… donesian PayLater users. A cross-sectional survey of 670 respondents was analysed with partial least-squares structural-equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Materialism had a strong positive effect on BNPL adoption (β = 0.762) and a moderate direct effect on impulsive buying (β = 0.350). BNPL, in turn, exerted a substantial impact on impulsive buying (β = 0.480) and partially mediated the materialism–impulsivity link (indirect β = 0.366). The model explained 65% of BNPL variance and 72% of impulsive buying variance, while exhibiting acceptable fit indices (SRMR = 0.035; NFI = 0.885). Findings highlight BNPL’s dual role as a financial innovation and a behavioural catalyst, raising implications for platform design, consumer literacy programmes, and regulatory oversight.
