Istraživanja znanstvenih i stručnih radova, stranih autora, svjedoče o rastućem zanimanju za proučavanje koncepta kvalitete (Quality), upravljanja potpunom kvalitetom (Total Quality Management), kvalitete usluga (Service Quality) i zadovoljstva klijenta (Customer Satisfaction), za razliku od domaćih autora, koji vrlo rijetko ili samo s nekoliko aspekata, proučavaju ove koncepte. U svojoj težnji za poboljšanjem kvalitete hotelskih usluga i zadovoljstva hotelskih gostiju, hotelski menadžeri često nailaze na problem mjerenja kvalitete usluga. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja detaljno objasniti koncept kvalitete usluga, te koncept mjerenja kvalitete usluga. Osim toga, u radu se opisuje i SERVQUAL ljestvica mjerenja (Parasuraman, ZeithamI, Berry, 1985., 1988., 1991.), kao i ostale ljestvice i modeli, koji se najčešće koriste u mjerenju kvalitete usluga u hotelskoj industriji.

The purpose of this paper is to report on an investigation of the service quality of the Aga Khan University library in Kenya. The total quality management philosophy which forms the basis of this report has been demonstrated by the use of SERVQUAL, a user-based assessment tool, in the evaluation of service quality. The research was conducted among 123 Aga Khan University library users – nursing and medical faculty and nursing and medical students – with an aim to investigate the quality of its services based on the satisfaction of library users with the services and as expressed by and based on users’ expectations and perceptions. The data was gathered through the SERVQUAL structured questionnaire and a 63% response rate was realized. The findings generally established that the expectations of Aga Khan University library users are higher than their perceptions. The results also show that there are service quality gaps in a number of services offered by the library. This research is deemed important as there is lack of information showing libraries in Kenya having involved library users in service quality evaluation through the use of objective and user-based tools. Thus this paper may lead to libraries in Kenya embracing objective measurement tools for the evaluation of library service quality. It is hoped that this article will contribute to a better understanding of philosophies such as total quality management in an academic library environment in developing countries, users’ expectations and perceptions of quality.

Total quality management or TQM has become one of the most important mechanisms for organizations that offers unique products or services to satisfy customers and achieve organizational goals. It is the core of management in the 21st century to provide better services and strive for customer and supplier satisfaction as well as maintaining a good relationship with the owners. The problem that this research focuses on is that the organization does not use a quality system or policy at work and therefore management faces a major problem on cost and effort in training staff. This has led to a lack of trust of the client as well as stakeholders in the services provided by the institution. The study primarily focused on understanding the application of TQM in Directorate General of Project and Engineering Affairs (DGPEA) office in Ministry of Health, as well as the challenges and issues in the performance of the work. The study has proposed a framework for improving TQM in DGPEA and in increasing the efficiency and quality of service.
