Abstract: This study aimed to achieve a comprehensive framework in the field of organisational succession management in order to optimise an organisation's potentials to enhance business results. Mixed method was used in this study. The qualitative data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis according to a 3-phase coding method developed by Clarke and Braun (2013) in the Nvivo Software. Quantitative data analysis was run using structural equation modeling in Smart-PLS software. The findings suggested that the establishment of a succession management system contains seven main themes occurring gradually and procedurally: organisational culture promotion, establishing infrastructures to make implementation, committed and systematic implementation, determining policies, evaluating candidates to establish meritocracy system, educational gaps analysis, staff development and succession planning system evaluation. In quantitative part, The results indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between the succession planning system and its seven dimensions with organisational performance at the 95% confidence interval.
