Abstract

Total quality management (TQM) has been identified as a key driver of organizational performance in public and private organizations. Organizational culture, along with TQM, has investigated to understand its contributions to organizational performance. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between TQM and organizational performance, taking into account a moderating effect of organizational culture. A total of 163 managers at different managerial levels in public organizations in Albaha province participated. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the relationship between TQM and organizational performance is a positive and statistically significant. Hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that the interaction of TQM and organizational culture was statistically significant and positively related to organizational performance. Some recommendations and suggestions for future research are provided.
