Abstract

The study was conducted to check whether the growth and profitability is the major indicator of bank’s best dividend policy. The research was conducted in the banking sector of Pakistan. The commercial banks working in Pakistan was taken as a sample of the study. On the basis of the dividend payment, 20 banks were selected for the data collection. The data was collected from 2008 to 2014. Bank size and leverage was taken as control variables. As per the results of chow test’s, fixed effect in case of profitability & pooled OLS in case of growth is appropriate for the data analysis. White’s test shows that the data is heteroskedastic so the final results were analyzed by fixed effect model with robust and no issue of heteroskedasticity in growth data. As per the results of fixed effect model; 1) DPO has negative and insignificant effects on bank dividend policy (null accepted); 2) Firm size has positive and significant effects on bank dividend policy; 3) Leverage has negative and significant effects on dividend policy; As per the results of pooled OLS for growth; 1) DPO has positive and significant effects on bank dividend policy (Alternate accepted); 2) Firm size has positive and significant effects on bank dividend policy; 3) Leverage has negative and insignificant effects on dividend policy.
