The study population is companies members of the blue-chip index listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2020 periods. Sampling uses the purposive sampling technique to obtain a sample of 27 companies. Data was collected using a documentation approach that came from the company's official website and the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Multiple linear regression analysis was used as a test approach.
