Abstract: We examine the effect of corporate governance mechanisms of debt, dividend, board size, and board independence on Indonesian companies long-term performance. There are 451 non-financial companies (3,831 firm-year observations) in Indonesia from 2010-2019 used as samples and analysed using panel data analysis techniques. We use family firms as moderating variables. In addition, this study also uses a new measurement of long-term performance by considering the return and risk aspects in its measurement. The result suggests that dividends are a corporate governance mechanism that can improve long-term performance. On the other hand, board size has negative association with long-term performance. Interestingly, family plays a role as a steward in Indonesia's companies. Family firms can strengthen the effect of dividends and board size to increase long-term performance. Various robustness tests were carried out, and the results were consistent with previous tests.
