Abstract

The small savings scheme plays a vital role in mobilizing savings for the economy, and the post office provides a variety of products to people to promote a savings habit. The current research attempts to analyze the moderation effect of financial consultants in relationship between the small savings scheme of the post office, financial literacy and behavior, and the savings habit of people. The study exhibits a significant positive impact of predictors and moderation variables on savings habits. In this regard, a two-phase structural equation modeling (SEM) has been employed to validate the hypothesized measurement model using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and in the next phase, the structural model verifies the hypothesized association between exogenous and endogenous variables to draw rational inferences. And a positive effect of predictors and interaction variables is observed. Finally, the study concluded with an important suggestion for the investment manager and other intermediaries: integrate the financial engineering process by giving due importance to investor needs.

期刊介绍： Business Perspectives and Research (BPR) aims to publish conceptual, empirical and applied research. The empirical research published in BPR focuses on testing, extending and building management theory. The goal is to expand and enhance the understanding of business and management through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis. BPR is also a platform for insightful and theoretically strong conceptual and review papers which would contribute to the body of knowledge. BPR seeks to advance the understanding of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations through empirical and conceptual work. It also publishes critical review of newly released books under Book Review section. The aim is to popularize and encourage discussion on ideas expressed in newly released books connected to management and allied disciplines. BPR also periodically publishes management cases grounded in theory, and communications in the form of research notes or comments from researchers and practitioners on published papers for critiquing and/or extending thinking on the area under consideration. The overarching aim of Business Perspectives and Research is to encourage original/innovative thinking through a scientific approach.
