Abstract: This study aims to identify the extent to which ownership structure and management efficiency affect capital structure in the Jordanian companies. The results show that the impact of institutional investors and the percentage of ownership of major shareholders are statistically significant and are among the determinants of the capital structure for the Jordanian companies. Also, the current study has concluded that the management efficiency has a statistically significant effect on capital structure of the Jordanian companies in general, and the return on total assets and return on equity are among the determinants of the capital structure for the Jordanian companies.
