Purpose-This study examines the attitude of academic staff in one higher education institution in Malaysia towards the implementation of total quality management principles, and how that affects the intention to implement total quality management in the university. It also highlights the impacts of several demographic variables on the implementation of total quality management in the university.Design/methodology/approach-The study used survey data drawn from 149 academic staff selected using stratified random sampling techniques. Regression analysis was used to analyse data.Finding-The findings demonstrate there is a positive significant correlation between attitude toward TQM implementation (customers and stakeholders, employee engagement and teamwork, continuous improvements and total degree of attitude) and the intention to practice TQM among sampled institution faculties.Concerning the correlation between the subjective norms and intention, the analysis manifests that there is no significant correlation between the subjective norms of TQM and the intention to practice TQM principles among institutional staff.Furthermore, the study also found that there are no significant differences in the attitude towards implementation of total quality managementprinciples due to the variables of gender, nationality, marital status, work experiences, the faculty and job positions with the exception of academic degree, where significant differences are shown.Value/originality-Since the study reports the understanding of academic staff of a higher education institution toward the implementation of total quality management principles, top management in the tertiary sector may find the findings and conclusions useful when planning for the implementation of total quality management principles.

This study addresses managers’ awareness and familiarity with Total Quality Management (TQM). Eighteen (18) semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with managers working in a variety of service organizations in Greece. The major argument of the study is that although the acronym TQM and some of its concepts and practices are known by a range of public and private sector managers, actual awareness of its “soft” side is often superficial, and managers have a relatively poor understanding of it. TQM is neither resisted nor directly absorbed by them, but they tend to see it from the technical point of view, being aware only of the importance of its “hard” aspects.

The application of the "Total Quality Management" model (TQM) in quality management and accreditation has been adopted by many countries in the world, but in Vietnam it is still quite new. To investigate and study the applicability and evaluation of general management and training quality management in particular according to TQM in order to propose practical suggestions to the International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU), the authors have conducted a survey of 168 students (25 first-year students, 53 second-year students, 51 third-year students, 39 fourth-year students); 23 teaching and management staff. The results indicate that the current training quality management is evaluated to be average by students and quite good by teaching and management staff. All the students and staff argue that the implementation of training quality management according to TQM criteria is feasible.

The aim of this research is to determine the extent to which Total Quality Management can be applied using a balanced scorecard according to the balanced scorecard dimensions from the perspective of the faculty and administrative staff at the Faculty of Politics and Economics, Suez University. To achieve this aim, the researchers used a descriptive research methodology based on the questionnaire for a sample of (33) faculty members, and the administrative staff at the Faculty of Politics and Economics, Suez University. Some faculties in Egyptian universities find it difficult to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of educational and administrative services performance which were provided to clients as well as the difficulty of measuring the outputs of these services, so Balanced Scorecard is the best tool for evaluating and measuring the performance of these services and outputs. The results of the study showed a statistically significant effect of the use of balanced scorecard dimensions (financial, internal processes, clients, and growth and learning indicators). One of the most important results of the research was that there is a clear variation in the level of awareness of the components of the use of balanced scorecard indicators in the application of total quality management, which reflects the importance of using the balanced scorecard in evaluating the university performance in light of the philosophy and mission of the university. The clients dimension is the most important dimension for it’s directly reflects on the satisfaction of clients from the provided service, and the financial perspective can be achieved by develop programs and academic services to increase the variety of revenues for the development of academic and administrative performance through the support of innovations and creative activities of scientific and professional efficiency of students, faculty members and administrators with the consolidation of a culture of technological knowledge of developments in the global academic arena.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) practices on the performance of employees working in higher education institutions (HEIs). It also examines the mechanism through which TQM practices affect the performance of employees. Design/methodology/approach Data for the current study were obtained from both public and private sector HEIs of Pakistan. In total, 400 questionnaires were distributed among the administrative and academic staff of 3 universities and 240 usable questionnaires were received. Data were analyzed through regression analysis using SPSS. Findings The results show that the TQM positively and significantly determines employee performance, and the mediating variables of job satisfaction and affective commitment. Both the mediating variables show a mediating role in the TQM/employee performance relationship. Research limitations/implications The study has practical implications for universities’ top management to focus on TQM practices that help in building and enhancing satisfaction, commitment, as well as performance of the employees that could ultimately result in better performance of the universities. Originality/value This research is an addition to the current literature and the first attempt in this area to the best of authors’ knowledge. This study will help in identifying how important and beneficial it would be for the services organizations to implement the TQM practices and identifying the impact of TQM practices on employee’s job performance.
