Description
Summary:This paper discusses the relationship between Quality Management (QM) practices and organizational performance. Based on comprehensive literature review, eight constructs had been identified for QM practices. To examine this relationship, a conceptual model from previous study on QM practices that is successfully applied in different countries is adapted with some changes. As a result, a proposed conceptual model using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach is established. A SEM technique is used because it can provide researchers with a comprehensive means assessing and modifying theoretical models. The same model will be used to study the relationship between QM practices and organizational performance for Malaysia and Thailand automotive industries.
