The Role of Profitability and Board Diversity on Firm Values: Empirical Study of the 100 Kompas Indexed Companıes
Main Article Content
Abstract
The main objective of financial management is to improve shareholder welfare or corporate value. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of profitability consisting of return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), and board diversity consisting of board size, independent board of commissioners, women on board, and foreign on board on corporate value as measured by Tobin's Q, and controlled by the leverage variable. The population in this study were public companies listed in the Kompas 100 index with a sample of 55 companies taken using purposive sampling technique, over a five-year observation period (2019 to 2023). Hypothesis testing used panel data regression analysis. The results of the study show that profitability as measured by ROA has a significant positive effect but ROE does not significantly affect corporate value. Meanwhile, board diversity that has a significant and positive effect on corporate value is the independent board of commissioners and women on board, while board size and foreign on board have no effect on corporate value.
