Methodology/approach: This research is a quantitative study utilizing secondary data. The sample was taken using purposive sampling method, thereby obtaining data from 352 non-financial companies listed on the IDX during the 2016-2022 time period.

Practical implications: Companies should consider the characteristics of CEOs in accordance with the company in order to enhance financial performance.
