The results of this study showed that profitability gives significant positive effect to the dividend policy, leverage gives significant negative effect to dividend policy, liquidity and growth do not have significant effect to the dividend policy. The implementation of GCG gives significant positive effect on the dividend policy. Profitability and leverage have positive significant impact on the implementation of GCG. Liquidity and growth do not give significant impact to the implementation of GCG. According Path Analysis and Sobel test, the implementation of GCG is the intervening variable to the influence of profitability and leverage on dividend policy.
