Money attitude and financial wellness of women professionals

The study clearly outlined the demographic profile of the respondents, their money attitudes, and their level of financial wellness. To address ‎the research objectives, the study employed a descriptive research design. A structured questionnaire served as the prima-ry data collection ‎instrument and was administered to 266 women professionals employed across the Batangas State University Sys-tem. The collected data ‎were systematically tallied, tabulated, and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools, including frequency and percentage, weighted mean, ‎standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. Findings indicated that most respondents were middle-aged, married, held ‎permanent employment status, earned a monthly income corresponding to salary grades one to twelve, were middle born in their families, ‎and were college graduates. The study also revealed that the money attitudes of working women, specifically in the dimensions of power ‎prestige, retention time, distrust, and anxiety, were generally in good standing. Moreover, their financial wellness, assessed through objective financial status, financial satisfaction, financial behavior, and subjective finan-cial perception, was also found to be sound. The analysis ‎further showed that there was no statistically significant relationship be-tween the respondents’ profiles and their money attitudes or financial ‎wellness. However, all dimensions of money attitude were found to have a significant relationship with the components of financial satisfaction and financial behavior. The results of the study ultimately informed the development of a proposed financial guide tailored for women ‎professionals, serving as the practical output of the research‎.
