Abstract

This research examines the effects of a company's internal factors on its dividend policy. Our sample includes 69 companies that always made a dividend payment from 2007 to 2016. Our finding suggests that free cash flow, growth in total assets, and leverage, have a significant negative effect toward cash dividend paid; while profitability, firm size, last year cash dividend paid, and liquidity have a significant positive effect toward cash dividend paid. However, we indicate that earnings per share and cash flow per share do not have a significant influence on cash dividend paid.
