Abstract AR

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى قياس العلاقة بين إدارة رأس المال العامل و الربحية.

و قد تم فحص العلاقة بين إدارة رأس المال العامل و الربحية باستخدام بيانات تجميعية.

تكونت عينة الدراسة من 43 شركة صناعية مدرجة في بورصة عمان في الأردن، خلال الفترة (2000-2012).

أظهرت نتائج الدراسة وجود علاقة سلبية ذات دلالة إحصائية بين دورة تحويل النقدية و الربحية.

و هذا يدل على أن التقليل من دورة تحويل النقد تحسن ربحية الشركة.

و علاوة على ذلك، يمكن للمديرين تعظيم ثروة المساهمين من خلال تقصير فترة التحصيل و فترة التخزين.

و أظهرت النتائج وجود علاقة إيجابية بين معدل الدفعات المستحقة و العائد على حقوق الملكية كمقياس للربحية.

إضافة إلى ذلك، فإن الربحية تزيد مع حجم الشركة و نمو المبيعات و تنخفض مع المديونية.
