Keywords: Saving behavior, Financial literacy, Subjective norm, Saving intention, Attitude towards saving

Abstract: This paper examines the influence of Financial Literacy on savings behavior that is improved by storing intentions and attitudes towards savings. Also, the study investigates the effect of subjective norms on saving behavior that is mediated by attitudes toward austerity. Research subjects were primary data from 469 young workers who worked in the DKI Jakarta area in 2018. Data were collected online by distributing questionnaires using Google Docs and they were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The research findings prove that financial literacy affects saving behavior, both directly and indirectly through the variables of saving intention and attitude to saving mediation. Other findings prove that subjective norms do not directly affect thrifty behavior, but had indirect effects through attitudes toward thrifty variables. This study offers alternative models of researchers associated with frugal behavior with theories of planned behavior theory with predictors of financial literacy and subjective norms to improve frugal behavior proving that saving intentions and attitudes towards saving can mediate financial literacy. Furthermore, a mediator's attitude towards savings can improve the subjective norm relationship with saving behavior. Thus, the planned behavior theory can explain the relationship between financial literacy and subjective norms by storing behavior. This is an initial empirical study that attempts to examine the relationship between financial literacy and subjective norms and their impact on savings behavior that is mediated by saving intention and attitude towards saving.
