Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of free cash flow, leverage, and liquidity on dividend policy and profitability as intervening variables in property companies and real estate. Companies were selected based on purposive sampling techniques to produce 50 samples from 10 companies. The data analysis technique used for testing the hypothesis was the path analysis test and the Sobel test. The research results showed that free cash flow, leverage and liquidity had no direct effect on dividend policy. Profitability had a mediate effect of free cash flow and liquidity on dividend policy while profitability was unable to mediate the relationship leverage on dividend policy. Companies can distribute dividends regardless of free cash flow, leverage and company liquidity. The results of the study indicated that there were no factors that are thought to have a direct influence on dividend policy that are proven to be significant, so it is suggested that further research include other factors that can influence dividend policy.


Keywords: free cash flow, leverage, liquidity, profitability, dividend policy
