Dividend distribution is not only crucial for shareholder interests and corporate value, but also serves as a key driver in advancing capital market reforms. Existing literature on the relationship between corporate governance and dividend distribution policy focused on either single corporate governance features or a single form of dividend distribution policy. This study investigates the impact of corporate governance quality on dividend distribution policy using data from A-share listed companies in China spanning 2013 to 2023. The findings reveal that improvements in corporate governance significantly promote the adoption of cash dividend and share repurchase policy, with results passing robustness tests. Further analysis reveals heterogeneity in the effects of corporate governance on dividend policy across different ownership structures, policy environments, enterprise sizes, and growth opportunities. Therefore, to boost investor confidence and enhance the vitality of the capital markets, it is imperative to improve corporate governance structures, rationally guide dividend distribution behaviors, and strengthen market regulation.

배당 정책은 주주의 이익과 기업 가치에 결정적 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 자본 시장 개혁을 추진하는 핵 심 동인으로 작용한다. 기존의 기업지배구조와 배당정책 간의 관계에 대한 선행 연구는 주로 단일한 기업지배구조 요소 또는 단일한 형태의 배당정책에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 연구는 2013년부터 2023년까지 중국 A주식시장의 상장기업 데이터를 바탕으로 기업지배구조 질이 배당정책에 미치는 영향을 실증 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 기업지배 구조의 개선은 현금배당 및 자기주식매입 행태에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 해당 결과는 강건성 검증을 통과하였다. 추가 분석에서는 소유권 속성, 정책 환경, 기업 규모, 성장 기회 등이 기업지배구조와 배당정 책 간 관계에서 상이한 조절효과를 발휘함을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 기업지배구조 고도화, 배당정책의 합리적 정 립, 시장 감독 강화를 통해 투자자 신뢰 제고 및 자본시장 활성화 방안을 제시한다.

Ever since next generation convergence technology became one of the most important industries in the nation, computing professionals have encountered a growing number of challenges. Along with scholars and colleagues in related fields, they have gathered in avariety of forums and meetings over the last few decades to share their knowledge, experiences and the outcome of their research. These exchanges have led to the founding of the International Next-generation Convergence technology (INCA) on December 1, 2015. INCA was registered as an incorporated association under the Ministry of Information and Communications. The main purpose of the organization is to improve our society by achieving the highest capability possible in next generation convergence technology.
