This study examined the relationship of organizational strategic system’s traits including family management, CEO compensation, and tenure of managing director with corporate financial performance. To measure financial performance, Tobin’s Q and ROA measures were used. Financial performance can be affected by different factors among which organizational strategic system´ s traits can be the most important ones. To do this research, 193 listed firms in Tehran Stock Exchange were studied from 2011- 2015. For testing data consistency, Hardi test, for testing the hypotheses, panel regression, and for selecting among combined models, fixed and random effects, Hausman test were used. Results showed a negative and significant correlation of family management and financial performance with both Tobin’s Q and ROA. In addition, there was no significant correlation between CEO compensation and financial performance when the performance measure was Tobin’s Q, but when it was ROA, there was a significant correlation between them. Moreover, there was no significant correlation between tenure of managing director and financial performance with both Tobin’s Q and ROA.
