This research examines the impact of the tenure of independent directors on senior executives’ compensation and corporate financial performance. We assume that as the term of tenure or seniority of directors usually defined as “independent” increases, their independence can become compromised because of the relationships they build with corporate executives. The results show that although the tenure of independent directors has a positive impact on senior executives’ compensation, it has no significant impact on corporate financial performance. This result tends to support the contention that seniority should be taken into account in studies using director’s independence as a variable

The objectives of this research were (1) to analyse determinants of the influencing factors of the Indonesian Estate State-owned enterprises’ executive compensations; and (2) to analyse the relationship between compensation executive and firm performances. Statistical methods used for analysing these objectives were Structural Equation Model (SEM), contingency analysis, regresion analysis and qualitative analysis.

Human capital, business risk, executive employment market had significant correlations to executive compensation. The research had also shown a result that executive compensation provide positive correlation and significant influence towards financial performance (EBIT), customer performance (sales volume, output price, market area), internal process performance (OER target, OER realisation), and growth and learning performance (number of training investment, number of employees participated intraining). However, executive compensation did not give positive correlation and significant influenced towards financial performance (ROE) and customer performance(market share). This research also showed that direction of executive compensation was heading to company’s performance and not the opposite way.
