| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This study aims to examine financial literacy among university students in Malaysia.
Specifically, this study attempts to examine the relationship between financial knowledge and
financial attitudes, and also the effects of these variables on financial behaviour among
university students. Data was gathered from a sample of 370 university students through the
survey method. To test the hypotheses of the study, the data was analysed using simple linear
regression and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that financial knowledge
significantly influenced financial attitudes, and financial attitudes significantly influenced
financial behavior. On the other hand, financial knowledge does not have any significant
influence on financial behavior. This study enriched the literature by identifying factors that
influenced financial behaviour and provided suggestions to be practiced by universities in
developing good financial attitude and financial behaviour of students. |
