With the growing pressure to achieve optimum level of quality, quality management practices (QMPs) has gained greater attention in developing countries. However, the contradictory evidence shown in the existing QM literatures had raised doubts as to whether QMPs alone is sufficient to achieve promising quality performance. In this regard, this paper aims to address the importance of structural capability in the pursuit of successful QM implementation seeing as the absent of structural capability may impose challenges to efficaciously embrace the QM program in enhancing quality performance. This paper seeks to develop an integrative theoretical framework that draws on the integration of resource-based view and dynamic capability theory to highlight the significant role of structural capability as a mediator in bridging the relationship between QMPs and quality performance that will serve as the basis for further empirical research.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature by emphasizing the significant role of structural capability as a mediator in bridging the relationship between QMPs and quality performance seeing as no previous study has uncover this mediating relationship so far.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
