AB  - This study examines corporate capital structure of listed 
  construction companies in Malaysia from 2005-2009. Capital structure defines 
  on how a firm would be able to fund its future investment projects via debt, 
  equity or mixed. Capital structure represents both a net worth and long-term 
  debt of the firms as the perpetual funding for firms. This study considers understanding 
  the nature of some critical factors as independent variables, namely profitability, 
  tangibility of assets, growth, size and non-debt tax shield on Malaysia corporate 
  capital structure. The analysis revealed that profitability of the firm; growth 
  opportunity and firm size had the significant relationship with dependent variable, 
  leverage. Other than that non-debt tax shield had the significant relationship 
  with leverage for year 2006. Finally, there was no relationship between tangibility 
  of assets and leverage for construction companies. Capital structure is so important, 
  it could be considered as a basis of most institutions and organizations and 
  it is defined as the mixture of both debt and equity for financing.
