Abstract

This research integrates financial and non-financial information that is useful in investment decision-making. The financial information used in this study is book value per share (BVPS). While an environmental performance valuable information in decision making is used as non-financial information. This research aims to investigate how information types (financial and non-financial) affect investment decisions. This research is a laboratory experiment using a 2x2 between-subjects design. Participants of this study were 39 students with accounting and management background who acted as investors. Participants in this study respond to scenarios involving investment decisions. The data analysis used to test this research hypothesis is an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of this study show that BVPS and environmental performance influence investment decisions. Specifically, an investor who receives BVPS information is improved, and positive environmental performance tends to consider higher investment decisions than investors who receive decreased BVPS information and negative environmental performance. Finally, this study discusses the implications of research results for companies in designing business strategies and further research development opportunities.
