Abstract

This research examines the impact of financial literacy on the savings behavior of investors residing in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. It also investigates the moderating impact of financial confidence and risk aversion in the relationship between financial literacy and savings behavior. The primary data were collected from 357 respondents through a structured questionnaire using the snowball sampling method. The findings of this study suggest that financial literacy has a positive impact on investors' savings behavior. Further, the study also found that risk aversion significantly moderates the relationship between financial literacy and savings behavior. The three-way interaction between financial literacy, risk aversion, and financial confidence significantly affects the investors’ savings behavior. The study suggests that policymakers should emphasize training programs for investors on financial literacy, financial confidence, and risk aversion.

金融知识对储蓄行为的影响:风险规避和金融信心的调节作用
本研究探讨了金融知识对海湾合作委员会(GCC)地区投资者储蓄行为的影响。研究还探讨了金融信心和风险规避对金融知识与储蓄行为之间关系的调节作用。研究采用雪球抽样法,通过结构化问卷从 357 名受访者中收集了原始数据。研究结果表明,金融知识对投资者的储蓄行为有积极影响。此外,研究还发现,风险规避在很大程度上调节了金融素养与储蓄行为之间的关系。金融知识、风险规避和金融信心三者之间的交互作用对投资者的储蓄行为产生了重大影响。研究建议,政策制定者应重视对投资者进行金融知识、金融信心和风险规避方面的培训。
