Factors of formation of the organization's dividend policy

Abstract

The formation of a dividend policy is an important aspect in the distribution of the resulting net profit of the organization. The conflict of interests of interested parties, manifested in the process of financial and economic activity of the enterprise, is expected to worsen during periods of distribution of net profit. In their activities, organizations can form a dividend policy based on various approaches. The ratio between the invested part of net profit and the part directed to the payment of dividends to shareholders depends on this. In addition, the adoption of financial strategic decisions is influenced by the requirements of legislation and various significant factors located both in the internal and external environment of the organization. The interests and strengths of a number of stakeholders (stakeholders) and the portrait of a particular shareholder/investor also influence the dividend policy.
