Abstract
This study investigated the impact of liquidity and leverage on the financial performance of Jordanian service firms, with a particular emphasis on the mediating role of dividend policy. Utilising secondary data from 38 service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange over 11 years (2011-2021), this research employed rigorous statistical analyses conducted through SPSS 22 and Smart-PLS 4.1 softwares to test the hypotheses derived from an extensive literature review. The study variables were measured as follows: liquidity (current ratio [CR], cash ratio [CHR], and quick ratio [QR]), leverage (short-term debt [SD], long-term debt [LD], and debt to equity [DTE]), financial performance (earnings per share [EPS] and Tobin's Q [TQ]), and dividend policy (dividend yield [DP]).
