Abstract

Purpose Total quality management (TQM) has been a universally applienod management strategy to improve organizational performance and thereby to achieve competitiveness. Compared with the scholarly and practical attention paid to identify the consequences of implementing TQM practices, little is known about how those practices enhance organizational image and employee satisfaction. This paper aims to address that research gap and is designed to empirically prove the relationship between TQM practices, organizational image and employee satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire-based survey of 285 employees including administrators, managers and heads of departments of 21 National Accreditation Board for Hospital and Healthcare providers-accredited hospitals in India was conducted. The proposed research model was tested using partial least squares based structural equation modelling. Findings The results revealed that TQM practices have positive direct and indirect effects on employee satisfaction, confirming the partial mediation role played by organizational image in the relationship between TQM practices and employee satisfaction. Research limitations/implications From the findings, leaders can understand that by implementing TQM practices, organizations can enhance image of the organization and bring high level of employee satisfaction. Originality/value The study tries to answer questions largely ignored in the TQM literature: the effect of TQM practices on organizational image and employee satisfaction, and the mediating role of organizational image on TQM practices and employee satisfaction.
质量管理实践作为员工满意度的驱动因素:探索组织形象的中介作用
目的全面质量管理(TQM)是一种普遍适用的提高组织绩效,从而获得竞争力的管理策略。与学术界和实践界对确定实施TQM实践的后果的关注相比,人们对这些实践如何提高组织形象和员工满意度知之甚少。本文旨在解决这一研究空白,并旨在实证证明TQM实践,组织形象和员工满意度之间的关系。设计/方法/方法对印度21家医院和医疗保健提供者国家认证委员会认可的医院的285名员工进行了问卷调查,其中包括行政人员、经理和部门负责人。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型对研究模型进行了验证。结果发现:TQM实践对员工满意度有正向的直接和间接影响,证实了组织形象在TQM实践与员工满意度之间的部分中介作用。研究局限/启示从研究结果中,领导者可以理解通过实施TQM实践,组织可以提高组织形象并带来高水平的员工满意度。本研究试图回答在TQM文献中被忽视的问题:TQM实践对组织形象和员工满意度的影响,以及组织形象对TQM实践和员工满意度的中介作用。

It seeks further to explore patterns, behaviors, processes, mechanisms, principles and consequences related to quality and services in a broad range of organizational and social/global processes. These processes embrace cultural, economic, social, environmental and even global dimensions in order to better understand the past, to better diagnose the current situations and hence to design better the future. The journal seeks to embrace a holistic view of quality and service sector management and explicitly promotes the emerging field of ‘quality and service sciences’.The journal is an open forum and one of the main channels for communication of multi- and inter- disciplinary research and practices.
