This study analyzes the sector-wise dividend payment behavior of Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) for the period 2009 through 2013. First, the trend of dividend payment of 5 years with respect to all 32 sectors is assessed through descriptive analysis. Second, the unit root test for panel data and pooled ordinary lest square (POLS) test were used on 15 non-financial sectors. Results show that the earning per share has a positive impact on dividend payment in eight sectors including beverages, travel and leisure, fixed-line telecommunication, food processors, household goods, personal goods, automobiles, and electricity; however, forestry (paper and board) is negatively associated with the dividend payout ratio. In addition, free cash flow has a positive impact on dividend payment in fixed-line telecommunication, and a negative impact on chemical, forestry, construction and material, engineering, beverages, tobacco, travel and leisure, food processor, household goods, pharmaceutical and biotech, and automobiles.

This study aims to: (1) investigate the amount of corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR) spending, awards, and activities of listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and in the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI); (2) test the impact of CSR spending, awards, and financial performance activities; and (3) examine the amount of CSR spending, awards, and activities between companies with and without a CSR committee. The sample included all the listed companies in the resource industry from the SET and the MAI. The data were collected from the companies’ annual reports from 2015 to 2019. Descriptive analysis, an independent-sample t-test, a correlation matrix, and an unbalanced panel data analysis were used to analyze the data. The average level of spending per activity was 2.2964 million baht. There were, on average, 2.1741 awards and 11.4178 activities during the studied period. Moreover, there was a significant negative impact of CSR spending, and a positive impact of CSR awards and activities, on corporate financial performance. Finally, there was a significantly different amount of CSR spending, awards, and activities between the companies with and without a CSR committee. The findings of this study demonstrate that legitimacy theory can be used to explain the benefit of CSR to Thai-listed companies, although CSR is still a voluntary corporate responsibility in Thailand.

<p><em>Earning growth is one of the company’s goals in accounting report. Dividend payment is assumed to have a link in the change of the profit in the following year. Pecking Order Theory revealed that a change in dividend will give a negative impact towards profit change. However, this statement contradicts to Zhou and Rulland’s research (2006) which showed that dividend payout has a positive impact towards profit change in the following year. This research is in accordance with signaling theory which describes that dividend is a reflection of a good performance from the company, thus, it will invite investors to increase their investment share. With the increase in the investment, the company is expected to expand and increase its profit.</em></p><p><em>The research is conducted in Indonesia towards all emitents in the manufactory sub sector by taking 95 research samples from companies that paid dividend in 2007, 2008,2009, and 2010. The research type is quantitative research with double regression analysis instrument. The dependent variable is the change of profit while the independent variable is dividend payout. Variable controls in this research are ROA, leverage, and size.The result of the research shows that dividend payout does not significantly influence the change of profit even though the number of co-efficient regression is positive. ROA and leverage variables significantly influence the change of profit while Size variable does not significantly influence it. In the maturity and stable level, the company will find it hard to increase the profit even though dividend payment is high.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Earning growth,Profit,  ROA, Leverage and Size.</em></p>
