| dc.description.abstract | Over the last few decades, many studies have reported on the implementation of total quality management (TQM) principles and methods in organizations around the world. However, there have been only a few attempts to empirically establish the link between TQM practices and organizational effectiveness in the Insurance sector, especially in Ethiopia. The paper’s aim is to determine how the Total Quality Management practices affect an overall effectiveness of Nile insurance company. The study type is descriptive and explanatory and in line with this both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. The data has been taken from a sample of 100 employees from selected branches including the head office in Addis Ababa. The data is analysed by using a structural equation modelling methodology. The results indicate that the level of awareness regarding TQM practices and the role found at moderate level. Concerning the dimensions of TQM practises, strategic planning effectiveness and customer orientation found to be in low category whereas dimension to communication, leadership and employee’s involvement were in moderate category. Consequently, an overall dimension of TQM practices endeavoured categorized under moderate category. As the descriptive findings indicate that all TQM Practices (Strategic Planning, Communication, Employees Involvement, Customer Orientation and Leadership) are found to have significant and positive association with both employee’s satisfaction and profitability. As the regression finding depicted, except communication other four namely strategic planning, employee’s involvement, customer orientation and leadership are found to be significant in employee’s satisfaction. On the other hand, except employee’s involvement, all variables were significant concerning about company’s profitability. Therefore, organizational effectiveness has been positively impacted by TQM practices. Finally, appropriate remedial measures/recommendations have been forwarded for identified gaps such as communication, employee’s involvement, strategic planning as well as related to information technology usage, rewarding mechanisms and on job training. | en_US |
