      Abstract

      This article investigates the maximizing shareholder value strategy for a sample
      of non-financial publicly held companies between 1997 and 2013. It also estimates the latter
      impact over employment on firms’ respective sectors of activity. In order to estimate such
      effects the Two-Stage Least Squares method was used, with support the Chain Reaction
      Theory. Results indicate that increases in shared dividends, via maximizing shareholder
      value strategy, have negative effects over the productive investment in which, by its turn,
      slow down the employment creation.
