STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IN THEIR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ABILITIES: THE ROLE OF SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AND EDUCATION
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2014, Vol 58, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gender, age, parent’s education, scholarship and students’ education on students’ confdence in their fnancial management capability and knowledge. In the research, 259 students participated from two different faculties – the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Economics. This investigation has revealed that the likelihood of students’ confdence in their fnancial management capability and knowledge is signifcantly smaller for students who do not specialize in economics or business studies, and for female students. The likelihood of confdence in their fnancial management capability and knowledge also statistically signifcantly increases with the father’s educational level, but, interestingly, not with the mother’s. The results also showed, although it is not statistically signifcant, that students on scholarships on average express a higher confdence in their fnancial management capability and knowledge. Therefore, the adequacy of the current educational policy (formal and non-formal education) should be considered.
