Concentration of Ownership and Control Versus Dividend Payment in Industrial Companies Listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange

SUMMARY

The purpose of this article is to present the results of empirical research on the relationship between a degree of concentration of ownership and control with regularity and amount of dividend payment. Two hypotheses were set. Hypothesis H1 stipulates that companies with a high degree of concentration of ownership and control pay dividends more regularly than other companies. Hypotheses H2 stating that in the companies whose ownership and control are concentrated, we observe the higher dividend payments than in the companies with dispersed ownership. The analysis was conducted on industrial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the period between 2010–2015. The results of empirical research confirmed both hypotheses.
