The market reactions are significant and directly affecting the firm behaviors for distributing their dividends in relationship with firm characteristics and considering the performance of fundamental factors. Moreover, the maturity level and tendency of internal conflict are randomly spread into larger and older firms, larger and younger firms, smaller and older firms, and smaller and younger firms.
