As many as 115 managers of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and their subsidiaries in Indonesia participated. Results show the following: First, seniority-based management affects financial performance. Second, innovation capability does not mediate the relationship between seniority-based management and financial performance. Third, customer performance does not mediate the relationship between seniority-based management and financial performance.
