Description
Summary:Purpose of this paper is to detail a validation of measurement model for Total Quality Management (TQM) practices proposed to optimize services organizations performance outcomes, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method. The measurement model involved data collected from 209 services organizations in Malaysia. Data screening and reliability test were conducted and reported. CFA was applied through two stages, first run and second run, using AMOS ver.20 software. Results of the reliability analysis showed acceptable Cronbach’s Alpha values (more than 0.7). Run-respecify-run procedure of CFA confirmed the measurement model to be utilized for further stages.
