The findings indicate that (1) All independent variables (Insider Ownership, Institutional Ownership, Dispersion of Ownership, Debt to Total Assets, Collateralizable Assets and Free Cash Flow) have significant effect on the dependent variable (Dividend Payout Ratio) simultaneously; (2) Institutional Ownership and Collateralizable Assets have a significant positive effect on Dividend Payout Ratio; (3) Insider Ownership, Debt to Total Assets, and Dispersion of Ownership have a significant negative effect on Dividend Payout Ratio; (4) Free Cash Flow has no significant positive effect on Dividend Payout Ratio.
