- Abdulaziz Alsahlawi
Abstract
This paper conducted an investigation into the effect of institutional factors namely, leverage, capital market assets, and firm size on the risk of profitability among Saudi insurance companies listed in the Saudi Stock market (Tadawul). The paper also determined if the institutional theory has a significant impact on the profitability risk of Saudi insurance firms. On the basis of the findings from the multiple regression analysis that was conducted on the data obtained, the study’s institutional factors namely, leverage, capital market assets, and firm size had a significant relationship with the return on assets of the Saudi insurance companies, which in turn, increased their profitability. In other words, the findings supported the contribution of leverage, capital market assets and firm size to the profitability of Saudi insurance companies and provided considerable directions as to developing a strategy of profitability among the companies.
