Abstract

The significance of Total Quality Management (TQM) in fast changing industries such as the Information Technology (IT) sector cannot be overemphasized. The study was designed to determine the existing relationship between employee performance and Total Quality Management practices within a technological driven sector. Coupled with this, employee willingness to change and Individual Change Readiness (ICR) were explored while considering employee performance. Quantitative study of Software firms in Nigeria was carried out using descriptive statistical method, and the results were subjected to correlation analysis and structural equation modeling, for the data analysis. From the results, it is seen that TQM practices, as well as ICR, serve as a considerable benchmark for measuring employee performance. The findings observed favors the facilitative function of ICR. These observations are critical so long the degree of employee’s readiness to change contributes immensely to organizational transformation. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by revealing the significance of ICR from a TQM perspective as it influences employee performance.
