This research employs a quantitative approach with 96 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. The analytical method used is Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that financial literacy, financial attitude, and financial knowledge have a positive and significant effect on PFMB. In addition, locus of control significantly mediates the relationship between financial literacy and PFMB, financial attitude and PFMB, as well as financial knowledge and PFMB. These findings suggest that individuals' belief in their ability to control financial decisions strengthens the influence of financial literacy, financial attitude, and financial knowledge on financial management behavior. Overall, this study highlights the importance of enhancing financial literacy, financial attitude, financial knowledge, and locus of control in supporting better financial management behavior among MSME actors

This study aims to determine the company's financial performance by testing the influence of independent variables, namely Loan to Deposit Ratio (X1), Non-Performing Loan (X2), and LN Size (X3), on the dependent variable, namely firm value (Y), in financing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2021–2024. The sample used in this study consisted of 36 companies selected using purposive sampling techniques, then multiplied by four years of research, resulting in a total of 144 company observations analyzed. The data analysis method employed is SmartPLS 4.0. The results of the study show that the Loan to Deposit Ratio has a positive and significant effect on Price Book Value. The Non-Performing Loan has a positive and significant effect on Price Book Value. LN Size also has a positive and significant effect on Price Book Value. The Loan to Deposit Ratio on Price Book Value with Return on Assets as a moderating variable shows a positive and significant effect. The Non-Performing Loan on Price Book Value with Return on Assets as a moderating variable shows a negative and insignificant effect. Meanwhile, LN Size on Price Book Value with Return on Assets as a moderating variable shows a positive and significant effect

This study investigates the impacts of financial performance—assessed through blockholding, board size, and capital structure (debt-to-equity ratio/DER) variables—on firm value, with profitability (ROA) acting as a moderating variable. Data obtained from a sample of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023 were analyzed using panel data regression analysis in EViews 13. The findings reveal that blockholding exerts a negative and significant influence on firm value, indicating that ownership concentration may lead to agency conflicts and weaken investor confidence. Conversely, DER shows a positive and significant relationship with firm value, suggesting that a sound capital structure can enhance firm performance and signal financial stability to the market. Meanwhile, board size does not have a significant effect on firm value, implying that governance quality is more vital than the number of directors. Furthermore, profitability (ROA) does not moderate the relationship between blockholding, board size, or DER and firm value. These results emphasize that ownership and capital structures remain the key determinants of firm value, and profitability alone cannot strengthen these relationships. This study has practical implications for management and investors seeking to increase firm value through effective governance and optimal capital structure management.
