In addition, this study also uses control variables in the form of company size, liquidity, and leverage.

The sampling method was carried out using purposive sampling technique, so that 38 companies were obtained as samples with a total of 114 observations during the 2021-2023 period. The data used is secondary data obtained from financial reports, company annual reports, and financial reports on companies incorporated in the Kompas 100 Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).
