Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between dividend policy and share price volatility in the MENA region countries. For this purpose, a sample of 530 companies from all the non-financial companies listed in the MENA region countries stock market were selected and the relationship between share price volatility with two main measurements of dividend policy, dividend yield and payout, were examined by applying multiple regression for a period of nine years from 2011 to 2019. The primarily regression model was expanded by adding control variables including size, leverage, and growth of assets. The empirical results of this study showed significant negative relationship between share price volatility with two main measurements of dividend policy which are dividend yield and dividend payout. Moreover, a significant negative relationship between share price volatility and size is found. Based on findings of this study, dividend yield and size have most impact on share price volatility amongst predictor variables.
