The authors studied the effect of ownership structure on human capital investments as indicated by wage intensity, defined as the ratio of expenditure on employee wages to sales, in a sample of 996 Japanese manufacturing firms during their economic recession of 1998-2002. They found that domestic shareholders, with interests beyond financial considerations, enhance wage intensity, especially when performance is low, and thereby safeguard human capital investments. Foreign shareholders with sole interest in financial returns have an opposite effect; they reduce wage intensity when firm performance is low.

Panel data were obtained from twenty (20) quoted manufacturing firms from the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Ghana Stock Exchange, Lusaka Stock Exchange, Johannesburg Stock Exchange and Nairobi Stock Exchange over a period of ten (10) years (2008-2017).

Dividend payout ratio was used as a proxy for dividend policy, while liquidity, ownership structure, firm size and leverage were used as proxies for firm characteristics. The study found liquidity to have a positive insignificant impact on dividend payout ratio; a positive insignificant impact of ownership structure on dividend payout ratio; a positive insignificant impact of firm size on dividend payout ratio; a positive significant impact of leverage on dividend payout ratio and jointly, a positive significant impact. It was therefore recommended that manufacturing firms should practice optimum working capital management in order to increase its liquidity level and diminish any likelihood of financial distress. An efficient use of its resources in order to improve performance, profitability as well as its ability to pay dividends.
