Abstract

Over-indebtedness is an ongoing challenge for both employees and institutions. Building on previous works on materialism and over-indebtedness, this study investigated the relationship between the two. We proposed that the effect of materialism trait on over-indebtedness is mediated by self-control over financial issues. Data were collected through a self-administered survey in public institutions involving 227 employees. The results demonstrated that materialism influenced over-indebtedness both directly or indirectly through self-control over financial issues. The theoretical and practical contributions of the study were discussed.
