Free cash flow hypothesis posit that regular paying of dividend can reduce agency conflict and through this, the range of future probable misuse of resources by management reduces. Ownership structure has been identified to have relationship with dividend policy of a firm.  Though the relationship is different for different class of owners and at different level; it does not influence dividend policy uniformly. Although, the linkage between the two has been monitored by many researchers, yet empirical researches do not provide consensus as to the direction of the relationships. Thus, the paper investigates the likelihood impact of ownership structure on dividend policy in the context of agency relation while using managerial ownership, institutional ownership, ownership concentration and foreign ownershipon dividend policy in the listed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs)in Nigeria. The research designs are Correlational and ex-post facto using secondary data extracted from the sampled companies’ annual financial reports for the period 2010-2014. Maximum likelihood (panel data tobit regression) is adopted as a technique of analysis for the study, using a sample of ten (10) out of seventeen (17) listed DMBs in Nigeria that served as population. The result shows that managerial ownership and ownership concentration are likely to have significant negative impact on dividend policy of listed DMBsin Nigeria, while institutional ownership is found to have likely significant positive impact on dividend policy of listed DMBs in Nigeria. But foreign ownership is found not to have likely significant impact on dividend policyof listed DMBsin Nigeria. Based on the findings, it is recommended among others that policy makers (Security and Exchange Commission and Corporate Affairs Commission) to design future policies where dividend payment could be facilitated and the diverse range of shareholders to be satisfied most especially minority shareholders. And that a limit should be set for managers on the proportion of shares to be held as this can facilitate dividend payment.

The  agency problem come because of separation between ownership and management on large corporate, there is a conflict between shareholder as an owner and manager as an agent. Manager focus on high growth of corporate (low dividend) but the owner prefer high dividend. The aims of the research are (1)  to analysis the effect of free cash flow, risk and ownership structure to dividend payment ,(2) to analysis the effect of free cash flow, risk and ownership structure to  agency cost. (3) to analysis the effect of dividend payment to corporate value, and (4) to analysis the effect of and agency cost  to corporate value The technique sampling is purposive sampling. Secondary data is used in this research. It is from financial report like balance sheet, financial statement and cash flow report. It is gotten from Indonesian Stock Exchange. The research period is 2000 up to 2006. It uses pooled data ( joint of time series data and cross section data) so the analysis units are 271 (n=271).  To Analysis data  is used descriptive  analysis and also statistical analysis that’s name  structural equation model (SEM). It uses structural equation model (SEM) because the model has a ladder causality relationship and several variable like ownership structure, agency cost, risk , dividend payment and corporate value are latent variables.  The results show that (1)  risk has a positive significant effect to the agency cost, It means that agency cost can reduce the risk especially high risk investment that manger can do.  (2) Dividend payment  has a positive significant effect to the corporate value, It supports the-birds-in-the-hand theory and (3) risk has a positive significant effect to the corporate value. It means that investor always care about risk of corporate where they will invest.

The Impact

An examination was performed on whether director interlocks enabled the adoption of a dividend policy for the benefit of the parent company in the ownership structure. Specifically, the study investigated the dependence of the impact of the central position in the board network on the probability of dividend payment. Based on sample of firms listed on Polish capital market, it was observed that the more central the company’s position in the interlocking directorate network, the more likely it is to pay dividends to a subsidiary. This effect is related to the eigenvector centrality. The results obtained suggest that corporate financial policy can be spread across firms through the board network.

The Relationship

Purpose: This paper aims to extend and contributes to prior French research on the determinants of the timing of dividend payment. It seeks to investigate the impact of ownership structure, duality of the manager as chairman and president of the board, liquidity, size and growth opportunities, profitability, variation of the amount of dividend on the real timing of dividend payment.Design/methodology/approach: Using a panel of French listed firms from 2003 to 2008, the paper uses a cox regression to investigate the relationship between the corporate determinants and the timing of dividend payment.Finding: The paper finds that large shareholders influence the timing of dividend payment but there is no significant relationship between the duality of the manager and the fixing of the dividend payment. The finding is consistent with agency theory since rapid dividend payment can be employed for mitigating agency conflict as timing of dividend payment can be substituted for shareholder monitoring. Further, the empirical results reveal that Cox regression is more appropriate in explaining the duration of dividend payment with variables associated to corporate governance and ownership structure.Originality/value: The paper contributes to prior research related to the timing of dividend payment by being the first French study to examine the determinants of the timing of dividend payment for listed companies in CAC 40.
