Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesinde Okuyan Z Kuşağı Öğrencilerinin Maddi Yardım Arama Davranışlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Individuals may apply to more than one source of information when seeking financial advice. Financial decisions a person makes voluntarily or under the influence of others can lead to positive or negative results. In this study, the data set was created with the questionnaire applied to the students of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences of Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University and the financial help seeking behaviors of individuals who are also known as the Z generation and are studying at the university were examined. A total of 354 students voluntarily participated in the study. The obtained data were analyzed with the chi-square test using the SPSS 22 program. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was determined that approximately 94% of the students had financial knowledge. In addition, it was found that students with financial knowledge have financial help seeking behaviors. In other words, it can be claimed that there is a positive relationship between financial knowledge and financial help seeking behaviors. Financial help seeking behaviors, however, generally consisted of discussions with the family and no help was sought from experts in the related field. The results of the analysis revealed the idea that it would be easier for the generation Z, who received financial advice, to make financial planning and achieve financial goals. Future studies can focus on the factors affecting financial help seeking behavior and the quantitative measurement of these factors.
