Abstract
Purpose: To examine the associations of financial literacy, DANA e-wallet use, and lifestyle with students’ financial management behavior.
Research Method: A quantitative cross-sectional survey involved 373 purposively selected DANA users at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember. The study reported multiple linear regression of financial management behavior on three predictors.
Results and Discussion: The reported coefficients for financial literacy, DANA use, and lifestyle were positive and statistically significant. The model reported an adjusted R² of 0.794; the direction of the lifestyle scale was not documented.
Implications: Nonprobability sampling, self-report measures, and incomplete item-level and diagnostic information restrict causal interpretation and generalizability. Universities and payment providers can consider testing budgeting education and transaction-feedback tools.
Originality: The study jointly examines knowledge, a specified Indonesian e-wallet, and lifestyle within a single student sample while explicitly distinguishing observed associations from untested mechanisms.
