The research is aimed to investigate the influence of the employees, suppliers, and customers characteristics on the degree of indebtedness of the firms. The capital structure’s theme with the employment of strategic variables is relatively recent and has aroused the interest of several researchers as a result of the importance of the interaction between the firm’s capital structure, their strategic decisions and their non-financial stakeholders relationship. It is employed a fixed-effects static data panel model on sample of 521 publicly traded companies in the United Kingdom, covering the period 2005 to 2014. Empirical tests are performed with eight subsamples stratified by segments of durable goods, non-durable goods, and other business segments to independently analyze the interactions of firms with their employees, suppliers, and customers. Four different proxies are also tested for the measurement of the degree of indebtedness in order to try to capture possible variations in behavior and to test the robustness of the dependent variables. The empirical results, in general, corroborate the existence of correlation, with statistical significance, between the firms’ degree of indebtedness and the strategic variables that measure their relationship with employees, suppliers, and customers at the industrial level. However, considering the limitations of the sample and the constraints of the employed econometric model, some results that are reported diverge from those expected and supported by the pertinent literature. In any case, there are indications that its employees, suppliers, and customers characteristics are relevant explanatory variables of the firms’ capital structure, especially in the durable goods industry for this sample and period analyzed, and more works are needed for its best understanding.
