Abstract
In the contemporary landscape, manufacturing companies should actively cultivate
their competitiveness and demonstrate the capacity to sustain a robust competitive
advantage. Key factors in this pursuit are Organizational Performance (OP) and the
implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM), which are widely recognized as
crucial variables within the manufacturing sector. This study employs a comprehensive
approach, utilizing descriptive analysis with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) employing the Partial Least Square
(PLS) Approach Version 3.0. Distinguished by its capability to represent unobserved
concepts in relationships, account for measurement errors in the estimation process, and
validate the hypothesized model, this approach adds rigor to the investigation. The
primary focus of this research is the assessment of the relationship of TQM
implementation across a spectrum of companies, encompassing those with formal TQM
programs and those incorporating TQM practices. Meticulously designed questionnaires
are utilized for data collection, and distributed among various personnel, including total
quality managers, supervisors, quality assistants, control managers, general managers, top
manager production managers, and individuals possessing relevant quality expertise.
Through rigorous hypothesis testing, the study aims to establish the relationships between
TQM and OP. The findings reveal a positive relationship between TQM and OP in the
manufacturing companies in Libya. It is anticipated that the outcomes of this study will
serve as valuable insights and guidance for compliance managers and practitioners in
Libyan manufacturing, fostering improvements in organizational performance through
effective TQM implementations.

Assessing The Relationship Between Total Quality Management (TQM) Practices and Organizational
Performance in Libyan Manufacturing Companies
INTRODUCTION
In the realm of industrial services, the manufacturing industry stands out as a dynamic
sector marked by the provision of individually tailored service solutions and a heightened
emphasis on performance, a subject that has increasingly become the focus of scholarly research
[1]. This inquiry delves into the crucial determinants of service performance quality, examining
aspects such as service features, customer complaint handling, and situational factors. As we
look to the future of the manufacturing sector, Total Quality Management (TQM) emerges as a
key player in the pursuit of continuous improvement and enhanced performance [2]. Developed
in recent years, TQM offers a direct response to the challenges posed by the globalization of
the manufacturing market and the escalating pressures of competitiveness [3].
Numerous successful manufacturing companies have embraced TQM, recognizing its
indispensable contribution to operational excellence. Consequently, TQM is not merely an
operational methodology but is positioned as a pivotal element for achieving manufacturing
excellence. The concept of manufacturing excellence itself signifies a path towards becoming
the premier manufacturer in the industry, aiming to attain the highest level of manufacturing
capabilities or best-in-class performance. This perspective is further corroborated by the work
of various researchers who, in developing their frameworks, consistently regard TQM as a
critical parameter or enabler for the realization of manufacturing excellence [4, 5].
This study is positioned within this context, seeking to contribute to the existing body of
knowledge by conducting an in-depth exploration into the relationship between TQM and
organizational performance in manufacturing companies in Libya. By building on the
foundational principles of TQM and recognizing its acknowledged role in achieving
manufacturing excellence, this research aims to unravel the nuanced dynamics that connect
TQM practices to the overall performance of manufacturing entities in the Libyan industrial
landscape.
In the context of Libya's manufacturing industry, however, a prevailing gap exists in the
adoption of TQM techniques. Despite the proven benefits of TQM, a considerable number of
manufacturing companies in Libya remain unfamiliar with or have not embraced these practices
[10]. Challenges hindering TQM implementation in Libyan manufacturing industries include
(i) a lack of vision, (ii) inadequate leadership, (iii) inefficient resource utilization, (iv)
insufficient recognition of human resources as agents for change, (v) disregard for customer
perspectives, and (vi) an absence of a scientific, systematic approach to organizational
management [11, 12]. Additionally, there is a dearth of skilled managers, limited utilization of
quality management tools, and a deficiency in expertise to identify target consumers and attract
them to purchase products [11, 12].
The dearth of TQM implementation in Libyan manufacturing industries is exacerbated by
a shortage of skilled managers and a limited application of quality management tools.
Identifying target consumers and compelling them to purchase products is also hindered by a
lack of expertise [11, 12]. Consequently, the nascent state of TQM implementation in Libya
offers a unique research context to investigate the relationship between TQM and organizational
performance, shedding light on the potential impact of TQM practices in a context where its
adoption is still in its infancy.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Total Quality Management (TQM) And Business Excellence Models
(BEMS)
The evolution of BEMS from their origins as TQM models underscores a broader
paradigm shift. Contemporary references prefer the term BEMS, emphasizing the overarching
pursuit of "excellence" in every facet of business. This departure from a focus solely on product
and process quality signifies a comprehensive evaluation of how core values and concepts of
business excellence (BE) permeate an organization.
TQM is instrumental for organizations seeking to discern and refine processes, fostering
an understanding of areas requiring improvement to enhance overall results. This encompasses
various organizational dimensions, including the environment, key working relationships, and
strategic positioning within the competitive landscape, strategic challenges, advantages, and
performance improvement systems [13][14].
Beyond the confines of a quality system, BE is about fortifying an organization's
management systems and processes across all domains, including leadership, strategy, customer
focus, information management, and people and processes. The ultimate goal is to achieve
excellence in every aspect, with a paramount focus on attaining superior business results.

Assessing The Relationship Between Total Quality Management (TQM) Practices and Organizational
Performance in Libyan Manufacturing Companies
BEMs play a pivotal role in helping organizations assess strengths, identify improvement
areas, and provide guidance on the way forward. Functioning as internal business consultants,
BEMs ensure that organizational decisions align with stakeholder needs, adhere to international
best practices, and meet the organization's objectives. Over the past two decades, both TQM
and BEMs have garnered widespread popularity, often with national bodies supporting their
development as the foundation for award programs and the broader adoption of TQM and BE
principles [15].
A notable exemplar in this domain is the Baldrige Excellence Framework, synonymous
with Baldrige Performance Excellence, a global standard empowering organization to achieve
their goals, enhance results, and heighten competitiveness. Adopted by thousands worldwide,
this framework serves as a compass, encompassing core values and concepts, criteria for
performance excellence, and scoring guidelines to facilitate continual improvement and
sustainable results. Organizations recognized as national role models receive the prestigious
MBNQA, a Presidential award. More than 100 recipients have generously shared their best
practices with others, fostering a collaborative approach to excellence.
The Baldrige Excellence Framework poses three fundamental questions to organizations:
Is your organization performing at its optimal level; How do you know; What and how should
your organization improve or change. By challenging organizations with these questions, the
Criteria for Performance Excellence delve into how well organizations are achieving what truly
matters.
The framework's seven critical aspects, as outlined by the Baldrige Performance
Excellence Program [16], focus on managing and performing as an organization: (i) leadership,
(ii) strategic planning, (iii) customer focus, (iv) measurement, analysis and knowledge
management, (v) workforce, (vi) operations focus , and (vii) results. Although initially designed
for the United States, the Baldrige Excellence Framework has been embraced globally,
exemplifying its adaptability and impact on organizational excellence Figure 1.

To further clarify the dimensions of TQM under Baldrige's definition, [17] provides
insights into the definitions of Leadership, Strategic Planning, Customer Focus, Measurement
Analysis and Knowledge Management, Workforce Focus, Operations Focus, and Results.
Leadership examines the guidance and sustainability of senior leaders' actions, governance
systems, and fulfilment of legal, ethical, and societal responsibilities; Strategic Planning
evaluates the development and implementation of strategic objectives and action plans, along
with the adaptability and measurement of progress; Customer Focus delves into engagement
strategies, customer relationship-building, and the utilization of customer information for
continuous improvement and innovation; Measurement, Analysis, and Knowledge
Management assess the selection, analysis, management, and improvement of data,
information, and knowledge assets; Workforce Focus centres on assessing workforce capability
and capacity needs and creating a conducive environment for high performance; Operations
Focus examines the design, management, and improvement of work systems and processes to
deliver customer value and ensure organizational success and sustainability; Lastly, Results
scrutinize an organization's performance and improvement across key areas, including product
and process outcomes, customer-focused outcomes, workforce-focused outcomes, leadership
and governance outcomes, and financial and market outcomes. Performance levels are
evaluated in comparison to competitors and organizations with similar product offerings
Baldrige Performance Excellence Program [16].
In essence, this comprehensive framework, integrated with BEMs and TQM principles,
provides organizations with a holistic method to manage and elevate their operations, ensuring
decisions align with stakeholder needs, international best practices, and overarching
organizational goals.

observed that a higher level of market competition amplifies the significance and effectiveness
of customer focus and product design on organizational performance.
According to Baldrige Performance Excellence [38] & [39] the Measurement, Analysis,
and Knowledge Management aspect scrutinizes an organization's processes of selecting,
gathering, analyzing, managing, and enhancing data, information, and knowledge assets,
alongside information technology management. This includes data presentation, information
reliability, hardware and software user-friendliness, mechanisms for information acquisition
and communication, and data validity.
Workforce Focus assesses the organization's ability to evaluate workforce capabilities,
foster a conducive work environment for optimal performance, and attract, manage, and
develop its workforce in alignment with overall mission, strategy, and action plans (Baldrige
Performance Excellence [38]. Successful TQM execution requires a committed and skilled
workforce actively participating in activities to enhance quality across all production stages.
All employees are considered internal customers, and their satisfaction is crucial for achieving
external customer satisfaction, emphasizing the interconnectedness of suppliers and customers
in a quality chain [40, 41]. Operations Focus examines how an organization designs, manages
and enhances work systems and processes to deliver customer value, achieve organizational
success, and ensure sustainability. It also assesses readiness for emergencies (Baldrige
Performance Excellence [38]. The comprehensive approach aligns with Baldrige's TQM
dimensions, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various organizational aspects.
Consequently, based on the aforementioned discussions and supporting evidence, the following
hypothesis is posited:
H1. There is a significant relationship between leadership and organizational performance
H2: There is a significant relationship between customer focus and organizational
performance.
H3:There is a significant relationship between strategic planning and organizational
performance.
H4: There is a significant relationship between Measurement, Analysis and Knowledge
Management and organizational performance.
H5: There is a significant relationship between Workforce and organizational performance.
H6: There is a significant relationship between Operations Focus and organizational
performance.

METHODOLOGY
Sample and data collection
The data collection process involved several steps. Initially, the Industrial and Commercial
Information and Documentation Centre (CIDC) in Libya was enlisted to procure the Libyan
Manufacturing Companies' Directory, listing 65 companies. Given the requirement for a
substantial sample size in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the
targeted sample included 65 companies, with eight questionnaires distributed to each, totaling
520 questionnaires. The distribution specifically targeted managerial and quality positions
across the companies, acknowledging that each company implements TQM according to its
operational needs.
Recognizing the need for a robust sample size to conduct Partial Least Squares Structural
Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the study targeted all 65 companies, distributing eight
questionnaires to each, thereby totaling 520 questionnaires. Despite the vast scope, the response
rate was notably encouraging, culminating in the receipt of 313 returned questionnaires, out of
which 304 were deemed usable for analysis. Only a small proportion returned blank (4) or
partially completed (5) as shown in Table (1). This dedication to garnering a substantial
response ensured a comprehensive dataset that could effectively capture the nuances of TQM
implementation and its impact on organizational performance.
In ensuring the representativeness of the sample, a strategic approach was adopted to
disseminate the questionnaires among a diverse array of stakeholders within the targeted
companies. Efforts were made to engage individuals occupying key managerial and quality-
related positions, including general managers, quality managers, supervisors, and other experts
intricately involved in TQM practices.
This deliberate selection process aimed to capture insights from individuals with a deep
understanding of TQM principles, policies, and procedures, thus enriching the study's findings
with firsthand perspectives from those directly involved in TQM implementation and oversight.

The rationale for choosing these respondents was based on [42], who identified them as
valuable sources of information due to their role as executors of top management decisions,
their ability to interact with various organizational levels, and their insight into quality-related
issues. By encompassing a broad spectrum of stakeholders, the study sought to paint a holistic
picture of TQM practices within Libyan manufacturing companies, reflecting the multifaceted
nature of organizational dynamics and the varied approaches to quality management across
different functional areas.
Furthermore, the units of analysis within the study were carefully delineated to encompass
various departments within industrial companies, ranging from Production and Quality
Assurance to Operations Management, Human Resources, and beyond. This granular approach
facilitated a nuanced examination of how TQM principles permeate different facets of
organizational operations, shedding light on the interconnectedness of quality management
practices across diverse functional domains. Leveraging the insights gleaned from these
multifaceted perspectives, the study aimed to offer actionable recommendations for enhancing
TQM effectiveness and driving organizational performance within the Libyan manufacturing
sector, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on quality management practices in
industrial settings.

Questionnaire development
A seven-point Likert Scale was used to measure the construct categories – TQM, and OP.
six constructs for TQM, consisting of leadership, Strategic Planning, customer focus,
Information and Operations process, management analysis and knowledge, and management
workforce were adapted from [43, 44],and [45].
In pursuit of unraveling the relationship between TQM practices and OP within the context
of manufacturing companies in Libya, the research model of this study was meticulously
crafted. The primary objective was to discern the perceptions of TQM practices and OP
prevalent in Libyan industries.
Employing a quantitative research approach, data collection was executed through a
comprehensive survey questionnaire. This method allowed for a systematic exploration of the
nuanced perspectives held by individuals within the Libyan industrial landscape regarding
TQM practices and their perceived impact on organizational performance. The amassed data
underwent rigorous analysis leveraging statistical tools such as the SEM utilizing Smart PLS
version 3.0.

الملخص:
في المشهد المعاصر ،ينبغي على شركات التصنيع أن تعمل بنشاط على تنمية قدرتها التنافسية وإظهار قدرتها على الحفاظ
على ميزة تنافسية قوية .والعامالن الرئيسيان في هذا المسعى هما األداء التنظيمي وتطبيق إدارة الجودة الشاملة ،وهما عامالن
معترف بهما على نطاق واسع كمتغيرين حاسمين في قطاع التصنيع .تستخدم هذه الدراسة منهجا ً شامالً ،باستخدام التحليل
الوصفي باستخدام الحزمة اإلحصائية للعلوم االجتماعية ( )SPSSونمذجة المعادالت الهيكلية ( )SEMباستخدام نهج
المربعات الصغرى الجزئية ( )PLSاإلصدار .3.0ويتميز هذا النهج بقدرته على تمثيل المفاهيم غير الملحوظة في العالقات،
ومراعاة أخطاء القياس في عملية التقدير ،والتحقق من صحة النموذج المفترض ،ويضيف هذا النهج دقة إلى التحقيق .ينصب
التركيز األساسي لهذا البحث على تقييم العالقة بين تطبيق إدارة الجودة الشاملة عبر مجموعة من الشركات ،بما في ذلك
الشركات التي لديها برامج رسمية إلدارة الجودة الشاملة وتلك التي تدمج ممارسات إدارة الجودة الشاملة .وقد تم استخدام
استبيانات مصممة بدقة لجمع البيانات ،وتم توزيعها على مختلف الموظفين ،بما في ذلك مديري الجودة الشاملة ،والمشرفين،
ومساعدي الجودة ،ومديري الرقابة ،والمديرين العامين ،ومديري اإلنتاج ومديري اإلدارة العليا ،واألفراد الذين يمتلكون
خبرات ذات صلة بالجودة .تهدف الدراسة من خالل االختبار الدقيق للفرضيات إلى تحديد العالقة بين إدارة الجودة الشاملة
واألداء التنظيمي .وتكشف النتائج عن وجود عالقة إيجابية بين إدارة الجودة الشاملة واألداء التنظيمي في شركات التصنيع
في ليبيا .ومن المتوقع أن تكون نتائج هذه الدراسة بمثابة رؤى وتوجيهات قيّمة للمدراء والممارسين في مجال التصنيع في
ليبيا ،مما يعزز التحسينات في األداء التنظيمي من خالل التطبيق الفعال إلدارة الجودة الشاملة.
