It is being said that almost every person has overconfidence, similarly with a CEO of a company, particularly because of the scale of power that they hold. CEO with overconfidence has a tendency to lower their dividend payout because they are driven by their subjective consciousness of the possibility of getting an investment opportunity in the future.

Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 327 perusahaan yang terdaftar di BEI. Model yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah regresi logit.
