Background of the Study
The tenure of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is widely regarded as a critical factor influencing corporate performance. Long-tenured CEOs may bring stability, deep organizational knowledge, and strategic expertise, while shorter tenures might reflect agility and adaptability to change (Olowo & Bello, 2023). However, the relationship between CEO tenure and corporate performance remains complex, with contextual factors such as industry dynamics and organizational culture playing significant roles.
In Gombe State, corporate organizations operate in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services. These firms face challenges like resource constraints and economic volatility, making CEO effectiveness crucial for performance. This study investigates the relationship between CEO tenure and corporate performance in organizations within Gombe State.

This research seeks to address these gaps by exploring the influence of CEO tenure on organizational outcomes.
