The Influence of Financial Knowledge, Financial Attitude, Financial Self-Efficacy, and Parental Financial Socialization on Financial Management Behavior in State University Students in Surabaya

Financial management behavior denotes an individual's ability to strategize, allocate, oversee, control, identify, and save resources in everyday life. This behavior is influenced by several factors, including financial literacy, financial disposition, financial self-efficacy, and parental financial socialization. This study aims to examine the factors influencing financial management behavior, specifically among foreign students as they endeavor to handle their finances independently.
