The relationship between dividend policy and agency problems of financial services companies listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange

The relevance or irrelevance of dividend payments has been the topic of much
discussion for the past eight decades. The primary objective of this study was to
determine the relationship between dividend policy and agency problems of financial
services companies listed on the (JSE). Dividend Policy and the Agency Theory
underpinned the study. Secondary data of sampled listed financial companies for the
period 2005-2016 was sourced from IRESS database. Data was analysed using
EViews version 9.
The results revealed that the presence of institutional ownership resolves the
asymmetry information problems, and, reduces the need to pay dividends. The results
also revealed that 54.69% of JSE listed companies under the financials’ services
sector practise dividend decisions. The results further revealed that the dividend
payout ratio is positively correlated with ROE and LEV, and negatively correlated
INST, DIRS and FOREIGN variables. The results confirmed the existence of agency
problems on listed financial services companies. / Ukubaluleka okanye ukungabaluleki kokuhlawula izahlulo bekusoloko kusisihloko
sengxoxo kumashumi asibhozo eminyaka edluleyo. Injongo ephambili yesi sifundo
yayikukufumanisa ulwalamano phakathi komgaqo nkqubo wezahlulelo neengxaki
zobumeli (ubuarhente) beenkampani ezinikezela ngeenkonzo zemicimbi yoqoqosho
nezidweliswe kwiJohannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE). Izisekelo zesi sifundo
nguMgaqo Nkqubo Wezahlulo (Dividend Policy) neNgcingane Yobumeli (Agency
Theory). Iqela lesibini ledatha yeenkampani ezidwelisiweyo kwiminyaka ye-2005–
2016 yafunyanwa kwiqula leedatha elaziwa ngokuba yi-IRESS database. Idatha
yahlalutywa ngokusebenzisa isixhobo sohlalutyo iEViews version 9.
Iziphumo zadiza ukuba ubukho babanini kwiziko loshishino buyazisombulula iingxaki
zonxibelelwano olungalingani kakuhle kwaye kuyasicutha isidingo sokuhlawula
izahlulo. Kwakhona, iziphumo zadiza ukuba ama-54.69% eenkampani ezidweliswe
kwiJSE, phantsi kodidi lweenkampani ezinikezela ngeenkonzo zemicimbi yoqoqosho,
enza izigqibo zezahlulo. Iziphumo zaphinda zadiza ukuba intlawulo yezahlulo
ihambelana kakuhle neenqobo zeROE neLEV, kanti azihambelani neenqobo zeINST,
ezeDIRS kunye nekuthiwa ziFOREIGN. Ezi ziphumo zangqina ukuba kukho iingxaki
zobumeli/ubuarhente kwiinkampani ezinikezela ngeenkonzo zemicimbi yoqoqosho / Bonnete le go se be bonnete ga ditefelo tša letseno e bile hlogo ya ditherišano tše
