Findings revealed a significant relationship between applying the principles of TQM with its different dimensions such as Total quality oriented leadership, continuous improvement, empowering employees and focus on the production process, and the institutional performance dimensions, such as profitability, productivity, operating efficiency and level of customers’ satisfaction in the study company, with concentration on the principle of the production process. Findings also revealed a significant relationship between applying the dimensions of TQM and the dimensions of institutional performance in the study company that could be attributed to demographic variables, such as gender, age, qualifications, experience, and job position.
