Abstract

The main aim of this research is to analyze and study the influence of financial behavior on the financial performance of MSME actors with moderate financial distress. This research uses a sample of 100 MSMEs in the Batik industry who have exported, located in Semarang City, Central Java. The analysis carried out in this research used causality analysis with SEM PLS. The research results found that direct financial behavior has a significant influence on financial performance. Besides that, financial distress can moderate financial behavior to financial performance. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that poor financial behavior plus financial difficulties will have a negative impact on financial performance. So as business actors, especially MSMEs, you must pay attention to your financial behavior in managing your business finances for business sustainability. Moreover, MSMEs have an important role in the Indonesian economy in the formation of gross domestic product and employment.
