The relationship between financial competence and performance rating was described and examined in this study using a descriptive correlation research design.

They received a score of 39% for knowledge, 53% for skills, 74% for attitude, and 72% for behavior. The average score is 60%, indicating that their level of financial competence is average. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between financial competence and performance rating, with a correlation coefficient of 0.724. This implies that a person's performance will increase in direct proportion to his level of financial competence.
