The subject of corporate governance has played an important role in determining the fate of the company, and its observing or non-observing has a direct effect on the operation of the company. The purpose of this research is the analysis of the effects of different aspects of ownership structure (shareholders structure) like individual or institutional, internal or external, being focused or disseminated of the shareholders on the share price volatility of listed companies in TSE. In this research "Shareholders structure" is considered as the independent variable and "Share Price Volatility" as the dependant variable. The results of this research indicate the price of shares of the companies whose more percentage of shares are held by their greatest shareholders may have more volatility and the share price volatility of the companies that the more percentage of their shares is hold by individual shareholders is lower.
