However, the correlation between FSIZE and VDSCL is
positive, significant at .365** (t-value. = 2.830) which
means that there is a positive significant association between
firm size and the level of operating segment disclosure by
the public-listed Nigerian firms thus H4 is supported. This
suggests that larger companies have lower incentive to
withhold segment information and is similar to the outcomes
of previous researchers such as [30]. Furthermore H5
predicts a positive association between company’s growth
(GRO) and voluntary segment disclosure (VDSCL). The
result shows that the coefficient β5 is .066 (t-value= -.016)
and the correlation between the two variables is also not
significant thus H5 is not supported. Finally based on the
findings the result shows that the coefficient β6 for the
variable INDTYPE and VDSCL is β6 .424 (t-value =-3.868),
supporting H6 which predicts a positive relationship
between industry type and the level of voluntary segment
