The difference between profitability ratios and turnover ratios is the fact that turnovers are more specific. While profitability ratios measure overall performance in terms of profits, asset utilization ratios focus on specific measurements within the business） We conduct this study to verify the impact of turnover ratios on Jordanian services sectors＇ performance during the period from 2009 to 2012. The study showed that there is no significant impact of turnover ratios on Jordanian services sectors＇ profitability, and by testing the main and sub hypotheses, the study revealed that there is no significant impact of turnover ratios on Jordanian services sectors＇ return on assets （ROA）, there is no significant impact of working capital turnover on Jordanian services sectors＇ ROA, there is no significant impact of total asset turnover on Jordanian services sectors＇ ROA, and there is no significant impact of fixed asset turnover on Jordanian services sectors＇ ROA. Also, the study showed that there is no significant impact of turnover ratios on Jordanian services sectors＇ return on equity （ROE）, there is no significant impact of working capital turnover on Jordanian services sectors＇ ROE, there is no significant impact of total asset turnover on Jordanian services sectors＇ ROE, and there is no significant impact of fixed asset turnover on Jordanian services sectors＇ ROE. Moreover, the study concluded that the educational services sector has the lowest working capital turnover and healthcare services sector has the highest. In addition, we find that the hotels and tourism sector has the lowest total asset turnover ratio, while the utilities and energy sector has the highest and that the hotels and tourism sector has the lowest fixed asset turnover, while the utilities and energy sector has the highest. The transportation sector has the lowest ROA and technology and communication sector has the highest. Finally, we find that transportation sector has the lowest ROE and the technology and communication sector has the highest.展开更多
