أثر تباين الشركات في حجمها، و القطاع الذي تنتمي إليه على المخاطرة التي تتعرض لها : دراسة ميدانية للشركات المساهمة العامة الأردنية

الملخص EN

The objective of this study is to find out the impact of the size and / or sector of Jordanian corporations on the risk that those corporations are exposed to.

In order to achieve this, the risk on all Jordanian public corporations (companies) has been measured using the Beta Criterion.

To find the impact of company size on the risk that the company is exposed to, Jordanian companies have been divided into three categories based on their sizes, namely, large, medium, and small.

On the other hand, to find the impact of the sector that a company belongs to on the risk, Jordanian companies have been divided into four categories, namely, Banks, Industry, Insurance, and Services.

We have used the One Way Anova Analysis Technique (Beta) to measure the risk.

The result of the study showed that there is no impact of the size of a company on the risk exposure for the company.

Similarly, there is no impact of the sector that the company belongs to on the risk the company is exposed to.

The study further showed that the above results are valid only when each of the two criteria (size and sector) is considered separately.

When the two criteria are considered in combination, however, the study showed that there is a definite impact on the risk that the company is exposed to.

Based on these results, the study presented several recommendations.
