- Abstract
The purpose of this research was to empirically examine the influence of capital structure measured by Total-Debt-Ratio (TDR) toward firm performance measured by Tobin’s-Q, with financing decision measured by Retention-Ratio (RR) as a mediating variable. This study used the secondary data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The population of this study is the banking companies listed in IDX for the period of 2016 - 2018. Based on several criteria, 42 banking companies listed in IDX were selected as samples in this study. Data analysis used multiple linear regression with the assistance of EViews 10 program. The Sobel-Test was used to test the significance of the mediating effect. The results of this study indicate that capital structure has a positive and significant effect on firm performance, while financing decision has a negative and significant effect on firm performance. However, financing decision does not significantly mediate the effect of capital structure on firm performance. Company must manage its capital structure in the optimal portion so it can increase company performance. The retained earnings must be used for company development.
