Abstract :
The aim of this paper was to identify the financial behaviour pattern amongst teachers in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor. A total of 362 teachers were involved in the study. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey. A descriptive analysis of the data was applied on the patterns of expenditure, practise of examination and assessment on the expenditure, also a consistent financial planning. The findings revealed that the respondents have a relatively good mean of financial behaviour in terms of payment of utility bills and monthly installment. However, there were teachers who are still involved in a bad financial behaviour. A study should be carried out to identify factors that influence financial behaviour amongst teachers.
