Abstract

This study aimed to examine the influence of financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial technology on financial management behavior, with locus of control as a mediating variable among culinary sector MSMEs in Pekanbaru City. A quantitative approach was employed with purposive sampling of 96 respondents, and the data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0. The results showed that financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial technology had a positive and significant effect on financial management behavior. Furthermore, locus of control partially mediated the relationship between these independent variables and financial management behavior. These findings indicated that financial literacy, financial attitudes, financial technology adoption, and internal control were essential factors in shaping sound financial management practices, and implied that improving financial knowledge, fostering positive financial attitudes, and promoting the use of financial technology were crucial strategies to strengthen financial management behavior and support MSME sustainability
