Using PLS-SEM on diverse population data, the findings reveal that self-control, mental accounting, and future orientation positively impact financial management, while financial anxiety has a negative effect. Overconfidence also shows a positive influence, though it carries potential risks. Effective financial management significantly enhances saving behavior. Financial literacy strengthens the positive effects of self-control, overconfidence, mental accounting, and future orientation on financial management. These results highlight the critical role of behavioral finance and financial education in promoting sound financial decisions and saving habits.</p> 2026-06-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Repository FEB UNSAP
