The advancement of payment technology has shifted the role of cash to non-cash systems. Generation Z plays a significant role in the adoption of this technology. One of the innovations introduced by Bank Indonesia is the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS), launched on August 17, 2019, to support digital payments through server-based e-money applications, e-wallets, or mobile banking. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing QRIS usage behavior among Generation Z based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The study employs a quantitative method involving 275 respondents collected through an online questionnaire. Data are analyzed using SmartPLS. The results show that performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, and social influence have a positive influence on QRIS usage behavior. In contrast, effort expectancy does not have an influence. These findings are expected to support strategies for increasing QRIS adoption among Generation Z.

Technological advancements have had a significant impact on facilitating financial transactions, one of which is through the use of digital payment systems. ShopeePay, as one of the e-wallets that has rapidly grown in Indonesia, offers convenience in making cashless transactions. Although ShopeePay is becoming increasingly popular, several factors still influence the behavior of its use, particularly among Generation Z. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect ShopeePay usage behavior among Generation Z students at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta using the UTAUT model. The sampling method used is convenience sampling. This quantitative research uses primary data collected through an online questionnaire via a Google Form link. A total of 275 respondents are involved in the study. Data analysis is conducted using the Smart PLS application. The results of the study indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions have affect use behavior, while effort expectancy does not have use behavior. This study emphasizes the importance of performance, social, and infrastructure support aspects in enhancing the acceptance of ShopeePay as a digital payment technology.

This study aims to examine the factors affecting the use behavior of the Flip.id application using the UTAUT2 framework. The results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence positively affect behavioral intention. Meanwhile, facilitating conditions and behavioral intention positively influence use behavior. The study found that facilitating conditions and performance expectancy are the strongest antecedents in this research. The findings also reveal a negative effect of hedonic motivation on behavioral intention, while price value does not influence behavioral intention to use the Flip.id application. The moderation testing of experience on facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation shows a positive relationship. However, perceived credibility does not moderate the relationship between behavioral intention and use behavior. Based on the findings, it is evident that the ease of application use, adequate facilities, usefulness, and recommendations play crucial roles in increasing behavioral intention. Conversely, emotional and financial aspects do not demonstrate significant importance for users. This study provides implications for Flip application developers to enhance functional features, user education, and other facilities that support transaction processes within the application.

This study examines the complex dynamics of retirement planning among manufacturing workers in Batam, Indonesia, focusing on the interplay between financial behavior, social influence, and retirement planning outcomes. Utilizing a quantitative associative approach, the research surveyed 100 workers from diverse demographic backgrounds in Batam's manufacturing sector. The study employed Smart-PLS 3 software for structural equation modeling and path analysis. Key findings reveal that while financial behavior positively influences retirement planning (β=0.196, p=0.032), social influence exhibits a much stronger positive effect (β=0.858, p=0.000). Interestingly, social influence negatively moderates the relationship between financial behavior and retirement planning (β=-0.176, p=0.037), suggesting that social factors may sometimes counteract individual financial practices. These results underscore the complexity of retirement planning in industrial urban settings, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach that considers both individual financial literacy and broader social contexts. The study concludes by recommending holistic strategies that combine traditional financial education with community-based interventions to enhance retirement planning effectiveness among workers in rapidly developing industrial cities like Batam.
