The purpose of the study is to examine the degree of knowledge and practice of personal finance of the non-teaching staff at a private university and to determine if the degree of knowledge of the respondents in terms of the variables under personal finance has a significant relationship to the degree of practice. The formulated questions were addressed using a descriptive-correlational approach. Fifty (50) non-teaching staff were chosen to participate in the data collection using simple random sampling and then examined the gathered data using the weighted mean and Pearson correlation coefficient. The study’s findings showed that the non-teaching staff who participated have a modest knowledge and practice of the indicators considered under personal finance. On the one hand, the study revealed that the degree of knowledge and practice of budgeting, saving, spending, insurance, and investment correlate, resulting in rejecting the null hypothesis. On the other hand, the degree of knowledge and practice of emergency fund and debt management showed no correlation that led the researchers not to reject the null hypothesis. The researchers concluded that non-teaching staff generally have sufficient understanding and execution of budgeting, saving, spending, emergency fund, debt management, insurance, and investment, yet in terms of the degree of the practice of setting emergency funds and investing money, have both obtain poor responses. Furthermore, recommendations and an action plan were provided to help them achieve financial robustness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
