Abstract

The study aimed to clarify the role played by Total Quality Management (TQM) and its impact on sustainable development. This study sought to explain the most important theoretical and practical foundations of TQM, which focuses on achieving precision in work, managing sustainable quality within the organization, and highlighting the importance of TQM in the higher education system. The study also aimed to demonstrate the significance of TQM in promoting sustainable development.

To achieve the study's objectives, a questionnaire was developed by reviewing several previous studies related to the current research, as well as articles and peer-reviewed scientific research. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program through the following measures: simple regression analysis, one-way analysis of variance, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. The study population consisted of 844 individuals, including faculty members, supporting staff, and administrators at the new facilities of Al Qadisiyah university. The study relied on an analytical approach, given its suitability to the study's objectives and questions.

One of the key findings of the study was the presence of a statistically significant positive impact of TQM on sustainable development when applied to the new facilities at Al Qadisiyah university. There was also a positive impact of TQM on the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. The study found no differences in the impact of TQM on sustainable development due to demographic factors.

The study recommended the involvement of senior management and employees in implementing TQM dimensions in the new facilities, linking the university's outputs to the labor market, serving the community, and promoting the use of modern technologies to ensure continuous development and improvement.
