Abstract

This study explores how technological diversification affects financial performance in Iran’s insurance industry. Using semi-structured interviews with six experts, including CEOs and faculty members, key indicators of technological diversification were identified, such as new underwriting software and digital advertising platforms. A 33-item questionnaire was developed based on these insights and distributed to top managers of Iranian insurance companies, with secondary financial data sourced from the Central Insurance of Iran. The study employes regression analysis and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the impact of technological diversification on financial performance, controlling for firm size, debt ratio, and company age. Findings indicate a significant negative relationship between technological diversification and both Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA), suggesting that the costs of adopting new technologies may outweigh their short-term financial benefits. Additionally, high debt ratios were found to adversely affect ROA, highlighting the financial risks of excessive borrowing.

Appendix 3: Preliminary CFA Analysis

Figure A1 shows the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), with all t-values for the 12 retained statements exceeding the 1.96 threshold. This signifies a significant correlation between the latent variable (technological diversification) and the statements listed in Table 2. Consequently, these statements are effective in capturing the extent of technological diversification in Iran’s insurance industry, underscoring their reliability as indicators.

Figure A2 demonstrates Stone-Geisser’s Q2 test for model predictability, a method validated by Singh and Alhamad (2021), Civelek (2018), and Risher and Hair (2017). Positive Q2 values for ROA (0.575) and ROE (0.20) indicate the model’s strong predictive ability, confirming its reliability in estimating performance indicators (Alnsour 2024; GhalichKhani and Hakkak 2016; Henseler, Ringle, and Sinkovics 2009).
