Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy and self-control on the personal financial management of Management Study Program students of the 2021 cohort at Universitas Muhammadiyah Buton. This research employed a quantitative approach using primary data collected through a questionnaire. Data were obtained through field research, literature study, and a Likert-scale questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the effect of financial literacy and self-control on personal financial management.
The results show that both financial literacy (X1) and self-control (X2) have a positive and significant partial influence on personal financial management (Y). The t-test results indicate that financial literacy has a t-value of 3.334 and self-control has a t-value of 2.437, both exceeding the t-table value of 2.045, with significance levels of 0.002 and 0.021 respectively. Simultaneously, financial literacy and self control also demonstrate a positive and significant influence on personal financial management, as reflected in the F-test value of 25.789 with a significance level of 0.000. These findings indicate that financial literacy and self-control play an important role in shaping effective personal financial management.
