Özet

Bu çalısma Đstanbul Menkul Kıymetler Borsası (İMKB)’nda islem görmekte olan temettü ödeyen firmaların yöneticilerinin temettü dağıtımlarına dair algılarını arastırmaktadır. Dolayısıyla da 2003 ila 2006 yılları arasında en az bir defa temettü dağıtmıs olan 67 adet firmaya anket uygulanmıstır. Söz konusu anketten elde edilen sonuçlardan firma yöneticilerinin temettü politikalarını olustururken göz önünde bulundurduğu unsurların önem sırasına göre temettülerin ödenme süresi, temettü ödemelerinin firma değerine etkisi ve temettü ödemelerinin sürekliliği olduğu tespit edilmistir. Ancak temettü dağıtımının zamanlamasına iliskin firma yöneticilerinden anlamlı bir bulgu elde edilememistir. Firma yöneticilerinin görüslerinden hareketle temettü dağıtım politikalarının kurumsal finansman literatüründe gelistirilmis olan ömür döngüsü teorisi, aktarma teorisi ve sinyalleme teorisini desteklerken, eldeki kus teorisi ve vekalet maliyetleri teorisini desteklememekte olduğu sonucuna varılmıstır.
