This research investigates technical efficiency and its determinants of the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the Indonesian manufacturing industry. This study applies bootstrapped data envelopment analysis to calculate the technical efficiency score at the firststage and panel data technique to estimate the effects of the determinants on the technical efficiency at the second stage. This research uses firm-level survey data classified at the five-digit International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) level to estimate the technical efficiency score. This research finds that the SOEs in the Indonesian manufacturing are technically inefficient. The technical efficiency is affected by the firm size, the location, the level of technology, the export engagement and the economic and financial crisis.

Abstract
Emotional intelligence is the ability to inform our decisions with an understanding of our own and others’ emotions so that we can take productive action. Research shows that career success dependscrucially on this skill. Emotionally intelligence people rise to the top in business because they are self- motivated and self confident. They are not at the mercy of out of control emotions. They may be disappointed by setbacks, but they recover from them quickly. Mastery of their inner world isnot enough, however emotionally intelligent people also turn sensitivity to their own feelings outwards. Their empathy for others makes them perceptive in working with others and thus influential.
