The dissertation aimed to:
 Examine the reality of implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) and its ‎dimensions (leadership and strategic direction, employee participation in decision-‎making, customer focus, process management and improvement, training and ‎development, measurement and analysis) and its role in developing job ‎performance at the Ministry of Civil Service and Administrative Development, in ‎light of the National Vision for Building the Modern Yemeni State.‎
 Assess the level of job performance among ministry employees.‎
 Identify statistically significant differences in the study sample’s responses regarding ‎the level of implementation of (TQM, job performance development, and National ‎Vision initiatives) attributable to demographic variables (gender, educational ‎qualification, age group, job title, and years of experience).‎
The study yielded several key findings summarized as follows:
 Ministry employees demonstrated a high level of awareness regarding the importance ‎of implementing TQM and its dimensions, with an overall average of ‎approximately 79% toward achieving quality.‎
 There was a statistically significant effect of TQM on developing job performance, ‎with an impact rate of 64.5%.‎
 There was a statistically significant effect of TQM on implementing the National ‎Vision, with an impact rate of 93.9%.‎
In light of these findings, the researcher recommended the following:
 Establishing a clear linkage between quality standards and performance indicators by ‎developing a job performance evaluation system explicitly aligned with quality ‎criteria.‎
 Strengthening training and development programs that focus on quality management ‎principles.‎
 Integrating National Vision initiatives into daily operational plans.‎
 Promoting ethical and value-based conduct among employees.‎
 Emphasizing the importance of studying individual and group performance behaviors ‎and attitudes.‎
