There are several theories which explain the dividend behaviour, and the empirical studies suggest evidence for one over the other, however the belief concerning corporate dividend theories are different. There are two conflicting theories; those who believe in dividend relevance theory (Lintner & Gordon) and those who believe in dividend irrelevance theory (Miller & Modigliani). The key part of the study is related to the evaluation of which theory is suited for dividend policy of companies in Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE). So far numerous researchers have make an effort to solve the dividend puzzle. The main aim of this study was to establish whether there is a relationship between dividend policy and stock return of companies listed in Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange. In particular, the study focuses on three main aspects, namely; investigating the association between stock returns and dividend yield, stock price reaction to dividend announcements and identifying the factors influencing dividend policy decisions. The empirical findings confirmed that dividend yield has a strong impact on stock returns and it is statistically significant. The finding of this study supported the dividend relevance theory. The event study found that dividend announcements have an impact on share prices and the significance of the abnormal around event date confirms that the DSE market supports dividend relevance and signaling theory. Finally, the study concluded that debt ratio and age of the firms have a strong influence on the dividend policy on firms on the DSE.

Para isso fez-se imprescindível levantar informações sobre este modelo, pouco conhecido no meio acadêmico. O método utilizado para a pesquisa baseou-se na abordagem qualitativa, com ênfase no estudo de caso da empresa FEMAQ S.A., recorrendo-se à entrevista semi-estruturada, à observação e ao levantamento documental como técnicas de coleta dos dados. Para que o objetivo fosse alcançado, no primeiro momento foram diferenciados os conceitos da Economia de Comunhão e Economia Solidária, dado a confusão que por vezes tem ocorrido entre estes dois conceitos que subsidiam diferentes modelos. Em seguida foram abordados os conceitos teóricos fundamentais, sobre os quais a pesquisa foi desenvolvida: valores, valores organizacionais, filosofia (de vida), solidariedade, caráter e dádiva. Na terceira parte foram enfatizados os aspectos da Economia de Comunhão, sua origem, discurso e repercussão. Concluiu-se que as diversas evidências encontradas na empresa estudada, como relacionamento mais humanizado, confiança, ambiente familiar, possibilidade de ser humano (não perfeito) e outros permitem classificá-la no estilo de gestão inerente ao modelo da Economia de Comunhão.
