Purpose: The present study aims to assess the effect of working capital management on the firm's profitability in the companies listed on the Tehran stock exchange. Methodology: The study sample comprised 125 companies studied between 2014 and 2019. In this study, the variable "net income before deducting interest and taxes to total assets" as a measure of the profitability of the variables, the period of collection of receivables, inventory turnover period as capital management criteria in circulation in variables, firm size, sales growth, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities ratio of financial debt to total assets and operating profit were used as the control variable. Findings: This study showed a significant inverse relationship between the profitability of companies with receivables collection periods and those with inventory turnover periods. Managers can reduce the period with the debt collection company to stay within reasonable limits and increase profitability. Originality/Value: It is expected that companies, using proper management of working capital, take steps to increase the company's value and thus increase its shareholders' wealth.

Purpose: This paper aims to assess the efficiency of existing companies in Iran's insurance industry and its relationship with essential profitability ratios. Therefore, with the help of input-axis and output-axis approaches, the performance of the companies was investigated, and the relationship between profitability and efficiency was studied using Tobit's regression model. Methodology: To achieve the answer to the above question, we selected 14 insurance companies in the capital market of Tehran as statistical samples. The data collected in 10 years between 2012 and 2018 have been considered. The hypothesis test has been performed by considering the dependent variable of dividends in different forms through Tobit and logit regression analysis. Findings: The results confirm that during the six years (2011 to 2016), the return on assets with a calculated efficiency is positively correlated with the input-oriented approach and has a negative relationship with the output-oriented approach. The results also show that the return on equity has no significant relationship with the two performance approaches. Originality/Value: In this study, considering the ratio of total liabilities, equity, and assets as input variables and income and sales, premium, and net profit as output variables, the ability to aggregate these items and translate them into one It has a single criterion called "efficiency" with two approaches.
