Additionally, self-control was found to influence how financial knowledge affected behavior, with people with more self-control making smarter financial decisions. The study offers valuable insights into how psychological and educational factors impact financial outcomes for university employees. It also emphasizes how crucial financial education initiatives are to enhancing workers' financial security and decision-making abilities. The study examines the connections between employees' behavior, financial literacy, and self-control using descriptive correlational and causal research methods. The outcomes show that participants, primarily young, female, single, and educated, generally demonstrate good financial behaviors, financial literacy, and self-control, particularly regarding responsibility management and financial knowledge—emphasizing the necessity of better financial education. Improving employees' self-control and financial knowledge may improve their financial results.
