The role of investment knowledge, student perceptions, and technological advances in affecting investment interests in sharia capital markets

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of investment knowledge, student perceptions, and technological advances on investment interests in Sharia capital markets. Employing a quantitative approach, the study utilizes non-probability sampling methods, specifically the convenience sample system, to select 312 active students from a total population of 5000 at Perbanas Institute. Double linear regression is employed for data analysis. The findings reveal significant implications for the role of technological advancements in shaping student investment interest in Sharia capital markets. Specifically, the study finds that the presence of technological advancements, such as applications and trading platforms, positively impacts student interest in investing in the Sharia market. However, contrary to expectations, investment knowledge and student perceptions do not demonstrate a significant influence on student investment interest in Sharia Capital markets. This suggests that despite possessing knowledge and certain perceptions, students' investment decisions in Sharia capital markets remain unaffected. The practical implications of these findings emphasizes the importance for students to remain abreast of technological advancements to potentially enhance their investment interest in Sharia capital markets. This research contributes to understanding the multifaceted factors influencing investment decisions in Sharia-compliant financial environments and underscores the significance of technological integration in shaping investment behaviors among students.
