DOES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CHARACTERISTICS AFFECT COMPANY DEBT POLICY? EVIDENCE FROM THE PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE SECTOR IN INDONESIA
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the influence of CEO characteristics on debt policy. The object of this research is property and real estate sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018–2022 period. Based on the purposive sampling, there were 46 companies that fulfilled the criteria. The analysis technique used in this study is PLS-SEM using Warp-PLS 8.0. The results of this research show that CEO duality and CEO age have a negative and significant effect on debt policy. Furthermore, CEO experience and CEO tenure have a positive and significant effect on debt policy. Meanwhile, CEO gender has no effect on debt policy. Theoretically, this study contributes to the upper echelon theory. Practically, this study has implications for the importance of factors from CEO characteristics that impact strategic decisions in the company relating to the debt policy.
