Assessment of the Effective total quality management on performance at selective colleges in Tigray regional administrative State, Ethiopia,
Background: This study attempted to fill a gap in the literature regarding the study of relationships among specific variables, or building blocks, associated with TQM and their use within selective TVET colleges of Tigray state particularly, the eastern zone of Tigray. The study was focused on the TQM and some measuring constructs of TQM. TQM is one of management system like QFD, Six Sigma, ISO 9001, the MBNQA, CQI, Strategic Planning, and the BSC; those are often met with skepticism among leaders of higher educations. Objective: The main aim of this study was assessment of the effective TQM on performance at selective TVET colleges in Tigray, Ethiopia and assessment of associated measuring and affecting factors. Because of time and financial limitations, the study was delimited only on the selective TVET colleges of Eastern zone of Tigray. Methods: Both qualitative and quantitative analysis was conducted passing many procedures through different sources of data. Stratified sampling was employed. Out of Total 7189, sample of 365 was selected. Binary logistic and multiple linear regressions were modeled to measure the relationship among different constructs of TQM. Results and findings: 54.9% of variability in product/service quality and 61.4% of variability in satisfaction were explained by the independent variables altogether and overall multiple regression models were statistically significant (p value<0.001) Besides of multiple linear regressions, the Hosmer Lemeshow
