The population of the study was the listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). The selected samples were 75 companies in SET property and construction industry group. The data collection was done by collecting the data in the financial reports of the periods between 2011 and 2017 and the companies’ governance levels announced in the Corporate Governance Report of Thai Listed Companies (CGR). The methods used in testing the assumptions were simple regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.
