According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics. Magetan Regency in 2023 also experienced economic growth of 47%, indicating an increase in 2022 of 3. The economic growth that occurs also has an influence on the poverty rate in Magetan Regency. Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics. Magetan Regency experienced a decrease in the poverty rate. The number of poor people in Magetan Regency decreased by 0. 16 thousand people. Seen from 2022 as many as 66. 65 thousand people or 9. 84% to 62. 49 thousand people or 9. Financial behavior is knowledge about the behavior of managing the economy related to finance appropriately (Kusuma et al. , 2. Financial behavior is related to a person's responsibility in managing their finances (Anisa et al. , 2. Good financial behavior is reflected in good financial planning, management and control (Elicia & Widjaja, 2. Financial behavior will make a person more responsible for decisions made regarding financial matters and more effective in managing the money they have (Astaginy et al. A person's financial behavior can be determined from their financial attitude (Baptista & Dewi, 2. In addition, using money wisely with self-control can show that someone has implemented good financial behavior (Khoirunnisa & Rochmawati, 2. According to previous research, financial behavior can be influenced by several factors such as financial attitudes (Astaginy et al. , 2. , external locus of control (Putri & Pamungkas, 2. , and self-control (Utami & Isbanah, 2. Financial attitude is a person's mindset in assessing everything related to finance (Alfitra et al. , 2. Financial attitudes can encourage a person to manage, budget, and choose the right decisions related to finance, thus creating good financial behavior (Anwar & Leon, 2. Attitudes towards the way housewives spend money vary, this is due to differences in meeting household needs. Financial attitudes are needed in households, managing finances with a good financial attitude will make housewives responsible for financial behavior and achieve success in their financial aspects (Utami & Isbanah, 2. Research on the effect of financial attitudes on financial behavior has been conducted by Hidayat & Paramita . which explains that there is a positive and significant impact of financial attitudes on financial behavior. External locus of control is a condition that occurs due to a sense of belief in external influences that cannot be controlled (Wijayanti & Kartawinata, 2. External locus of control tends to be influenced by external factors related to fate, the influence of others, and success (Harianto & Isbanah, 2. Housewives with a high external locus of control can allow a high level of financial behavior vulnerability, this is due to a belief in external influences in managing finances so that it affects financial behavior (Hampson 252 | P a g e Au E K O M A B I S : J u r n a l E k o n o m i M a n a j e m e n B i s n i s Ay AuAuwalin Siti Maisyaroh. Riawan. Titi RapiniAy et al. , 2. Housewives need to understand and consider external influences that will be beneficial or detrimental, such as accepting the influence of family members to fulfill household needs first compared to non-urgent desires. So that external locus of control plays an important role in determining the financial behavior of housewives. Putri & Pamungkas . conducted research on the effect of external locus of control on financial behavior which found that external locus of control external has a positive and significant effect on financial behavior. Self-control is the ability to control and restrain oneself in behavior that leads to positive behavior (Soliha et al. , 2. Low self-control owned by housewives can pose a risk to their finances, but if housewives have high self-control and are careful in managing finances, housewives will get used to having responsible financial behavior (Raaij et al. Self-control encourages housewives to have good financial behavior, such as choosing savings over debt, being able to control spending, and avoiding impulsive attitudes when shopping. Thus, self-control is very necessary for housewives in optimizing financial management in the household. Research on the effect of self-control on financial behavior has been conducted by Ekofani & Paramita . with the results of the study that self-control has a significant positive effect on financial behavior. The economic growth that has occurred in Magetan Regency has caused the poverty rate in Magetan Regency to decline. Although the poverty rate has decreased, one of the villages in Magetan. Kelurahan Selosari, is still a concern, as shown by the deliberation on poverty experienced by the community in Kelurahan Selosari. Efforts to maintain economic stability require the role of the government and the community, as well as housewives in Selosari Village. Actions to reduce and anticipate poverty can be done by optimally managing finances carried out by the community, especially in households. Therefore, it is important for every household in Selosari Village to improve their understanding of financial behavior. Housewives are in control of managing family finances in addition to educating children, taking care of husbands, and homes (Anisa et al. , 2. Managing household finances is a challenge for housewives and requires special attention, strategies, and discipline to keep financial conditions healthy (Anisa et al. , 2. Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2023 the economic structure in Magetan Regency in terms of expenditure was dominated by the household consumption expenditure component (PK-RT), which amounted to 76. Therefore, housewives in Selosari Village must play an active role in managing household finances as a form of anticipation in the face of poverty that still exists in Selosari Village and high household consumption expenditure. Housewives can help improve social welfare with wise financial behavior. Housewives who have good financial behavior can be applied through wise financial attitudes, such as when making expenditures prioritizing needs rather than desires to avoid excessive spending. In addition, housewives must be more selective in managing their finances by considering external influences such as accepting the encouragement of others who make housewives get used to saving regularly. The wise financial behavior of housewives is also through high self-control, such as avoiding consumptive attitudes by getting used to controlling their finances properly, so that the management of money owned in the household can be more optimal. This phenomenon is the reason why researchers chose housewives as the object of research on financial behavior. This is thought to be due to several factors such as a less wise financial attitude, the existence of an external locus of control, and a lack of self- AuUniversitas Pelita BangsaAy P a g e | 253 AuFinancial Behavior of Housewives in Selosari Village andAAy control from housewives. In addition to the phenomenon of the gap on the object, the research gap is also the basis for this study where research has been conducted from Astaginy et al . which found a significant effect of financial attitudes on financial behavior, different results were obtained from the research of Alfitra et al . where the findings found that there was no significant effect of financial attitudes on financial Research on external locus of control has been conducted by Putri & Pamungkas . where external locus of control has a significant effect on financial behavior, but according to Baptista & Dewi . , it explains that external locus of control has no significant effect on financial behavior. The results of research on selfcontrol have also been carried out by Utami & Isbanah . where self-control has a significant effect on financial behavior, but according to Gunawan & Syakinah . , it explains that self-control has no significant effect on financial behavior. Based on the phenomenon gap and research gap, researchers know that there are inconsistencies so that further research is needed. Methodology Model Development Financial Attitude on Financial Behavior Financial attitude is a form of a person's implementation when making financial-related decisions with their financial management (Elicia & Widjaja, 2. Financial attitude is a manifestation of attitudes towards finance that are owned by assessing, arguing, or thinking (Putri & Siregar, 2. Financial attitudes are opinions or thoughts and evaluations of finance that are realized through attitudes (Handayani et al. , 2. Indicators of financial attitudes according to Fatmawati & Fahriani . are recording financial expenses, making financial plans, setting financial goals, and money security. A person can be helped when deciding on attitudes and ways of behaving in relation to his finances, both in how to manage, budget personal money, or make decisions related to the money he has with a financial attitude (Astaginy et al. , 2. Thus, a person's financial attitude can affect the way he manages financial behavior (Harianto & Isbanah. The better the financial attitude, the better the financial behavior that a person has in managing finances wisely. Research result by Anwar & Leon . support this statement that financial behaviour is significantly influenced by financial attitudes. Based on this explanation, the hypotheses proposed are: H1 : Financial attitude has a significant impact on financial behavior External Locus of Control on Financial Behavior External locus of control is individual's belief that all events experienced are influenced by external factors such as chance or luck (Pradiningtyas & Lukiastuti, 2. External locus of control external is a person's condition where it can be influenced from outside and not influenced by himself (Budiono, 2. Indicators of external locus of control according to Hidayah & Bowo . consist of socioeconomic status, the influence of others, and luck. External locus of control tends to lack the effort needed to direct responsible financial behavior (Ahmad et al. , 2. A person with an internal or external locus of control can 254 | P a g e Au E K O M A B I S : J u r n a l E k o n o m i M a n a j e m e n B i s n i s Ay AuAuwalin Siti Maisyaroh. Riawan. Titi RapiniAy cause differences in behavior, so that the lower external locus of control, financial behaviour that a person applies will be higher, on the contrary, the higher external locus of control, financial behaviour that a person applies will be lower. This is supported by Muhidia . who found that financial behaviour is significantly influenced by external locus of control. Based on this explanation, the following hypothesis is H2 : External locus of control has a significant influence on financial behavior Self-Control on Financial Behavior Self-control is a thought related to belief in himself with the ability to regulate and restrain himself to deal with situations that occur (Ekofani & Paramita, 2. Self-control is an encouragement from oneself to take self-control actions towards something good or bad (Zuniarti & Rochmawati, 2. Self-control is measured by indicators according to Nofsinger . in Sampoerno & Asandimitra . , preparing an emergency fund, comparing prices, feeling uncomfortable without making financial plans, the ability to control expenses. The ability to make the right decisions about your finances can avoid financial problems in the future and this shows healthy financial behavior by prioritizing needs over wants. The better the ability to control oneself, the better the financial behavior. This is supported by Gunawan & Syakinah . research which found that financial behaviour is significantly affected by self-control. Based on the existing explanation, the proposed hypothesis is: H3: Self-control has a significant effect on financial behavior Financial Attitude External Locus of Control Financial Behavior Self-Control Source: Data processed by researchers, 2024 Figurs 1.

These results explain that the better the financial attitude will make the better the financial behavior (Aditya & Azmansyah, 2. Proven from the results of descriptive analysis on financial attitude variables shown through indicators of recording financial expenses, making financial plans, setting financial goals, and money security can have a significant effect on the financial behavior of housewives in Selosari Village. Magetan City. This is reinforced by the results of questionnaire data collection which states that the indicator AuSetting financial goalsAy includes the first highest average answer of 4,10 so that housewives will record their needs based on their goals as an effort to make a family financial budget to avoid unnecessary expenses and in accordance with the money they In addition, the respondent's answer with the second highest average of 3,86 on the indicator AuSafety of moneyAy shows that the majority of housewives choose to save money at the Bank rather than saving it themselves because they believe that the money will be safer so that the attitude of saving money prioritizes safety, recording financial expenses, and compiling financial goals can encourage housewives' behavior in saving money and managing finances more wisely. Financial attitudes can affect financial behavior because a good financial attitude indicates that decision making, budgeting, and financial management have been carried out properly, so that it can make financial behavior wiser. These results support the research proposed by Saputra et al . which states that financial attitude has a AuUniversitas Pelita BangsaAy P a g e | 259 AuFinancial Behavior of Housewives in Selosari Village andAAy positive and significant effect on financial behavior. This is relevant to the research of Astaginy et al . which explains the positive and significant effect of financial attitudes on financial behavior. The Effect of External Locus of Control on Financial Behavior External locus of control has a positive and insignificant effect on financial behavior of 0,946. This means that high or low external locus of control has no impact on financial This is seen through respondents' responses from the external locus of control variable through indicators of social economic status, the influence of others, and luck cannot affect financial behavior in housewives in Selosari Village. Magetan City. Based on the results of questionnaire data collection, it can be seen that the indicators AuLuckAy and AuInfluence of othersAy include answers in the neutral category. This shows that the majority of housewives in Selosari Village. Magetan City consider luck to have nothing to do with the behavior of paying bills on time or making a budget that reflects financial behavior. In addition, indicators of the influence of others are also considered not to affect financial behavior in housewives. As research found by Udiarti et al . also states that housewives are not easily influenced. So that external locus of control cannot directly affect financial behavior, there are other factors that may be more dominant in influencing financial behavior. This is not relevant to research conducted by Wijayanti & Kartawinata . which states that external locus of control has a significant effect on personal financial However, this result is supported by research from Putra et al . which explains that external locus of control has no significant effect on work The Effect of Self-Control on Financial Behavior Self-control has a positive and significant effect on financial behavior of 0,000. This means that high and low self-control will have an impact on financial behavior. The higher self-control makes financial behavior better (Utami & Isbanah, 2. This is evidenced by respondents' responses to the self-control variable as measured by indicators of preparing an emergency fund, comparing prices, feeling uncomfortable without making financial plans, the ability to control expenses can significantly affect the financial behavior of housewives in Selosari Village. Magetan City. This result can be seen through the results of questionnaire data collection, which shows that the indicator AuComparing pricesAy includes the first highest average answer of 4,26 so that the majority of housewives have the principle to save money by comparing prices as an effort to control themselves over their finances so as not to overdo it which causes consumptive behavior. In addition, the second highest average answer was 3,83 on the indicator AuAbility to control expensesAy so that housewives have an awareness to purchase goods according to their needs not based on desires which result in impulse purchases, this will make housewives' expenses well controlled and get used to choosing frugality and prioritizing savings. Financial behavior is influenced by self-control because if self-control is high, it means that expenses can be controlled in accordance with the income or money owned. These conditions keep housewives' financial management under control so that financial behavior can be controlled appropriately. These results are in accordance with Utami & 260 | P a g e Au E K O M A B I S : J u r n a l E k o n o m i M a n a j e m e n B i s n i s Ay AuAuwalin Siti Maisyaroh. Riawan. Titi RapiniAy Isbanah . who say self-control has a positive and significant effect on financial These results are also relevant to research from Nasihah & Listiadi . which states that self-control has a positive and significant effect on financial behavior. Conclusion Through the results of the analysis that has been tested, it can be concluded that the variables of financial attitudes, and self-control have a positive and significant influence on financial behavior in housewives in Selosari Village. Magetan City, while external locus of control is known to have no significant effect on financial behavior in housewives in Selosari Village. Magetan City. Housewives are expected to pay attention to financial attitudes and self-control because they have an influence on financial behavior. Housewives must have good financial attitudes, so that they can help manage finances in their households properly. Likewise, the self-control that housewives have can help housewives to minimize the occurrence of financial problems in the household. In addition, it is recommended to provide training related to proper financial management for housewives, this training can be organized by Selosari Village through community organizations such as family welfare empowerment (PKK) in order to anticipate in the face of poverty and high household consumption expenditure. So that it will have a good impact on the financial behavior of housewives. Future research is expected to use other variables and objects that affect financial behavior in order to increase the accuracy of the research. References
