The result reveals that the level of dividend payout is positively related to cash per share,corporate size,the number of mon stockholders and government regulation, and is negatively related to debtasset ratio, but there isn’t significant relationship between the top management holdings and corporate dividend policy. However, government regulation may substitute the top management holdings in reducing the corporate agency cost.Keywords: Top Management Holdings, Dividend Policy, Government Regulation, Agency Cost6 /
