Summary/Abstract: The question of the investors’ motivation in the investment decision making process is a topic that is always relevant and subject of research in the field of economics. The turbulence on the stock exchanges observed in the last few years makes this issue particularly relevant, and the introduction of new scientific knowledge in this direction equally useful. The question of the influence of dividend policy on the stock market performance of public companies is a question that has been examined repeatedly in the past, and to this day the companies’ dividend policy is of serious scientific interest. The past few years have been marked by significant stock market uncertainty and substantial inflation in the United States and many of the World’s leading economies. The observed upheavals in recent years have created fertile ground for the conduct of scientific research in the field of investing. This report examines the impact of the Federal Open Market Committee’s federal funds rate actions in 2022, and examines the extent to which these actions have had an impact on the popularity of dividend companies among individual investors.
