The type of data is secondary data sourced from financial reports and annual reports. The data analysis method used in this study is the classical assumption test, the coefficient of determination test (R2), multiple linear regression tests, and hypothesis testing using multiple linear analysis. The results of the study show that profitability has a significant effect on dividend policy, while funding policy has no significant effect on dividend policy. Significant profit growth mediates the effect of profitability on dividend policy, while not significantly mediates the effect of funding policy on dividend policy.
