AbstractThis study examines the applicability of total quality management (TQM) in the Jordanian financial services sector using a sample of employees at 12 financial institutions. The applicability of the TQM is assessed through the five dimensions defined by the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM). The results reveal some areas of good performance and opportunities of improvement. Still, financial services sector in Jordan lagged behind the effective usage of cross functional teams; the appropriate levels of communications and the helpful feedback channels. The sector was unable to extend the sufficient level of employees" empowerment and involvement due to the lack of sufficient communication with top management. Although the sector encompassed good internal organization of work task, it advised to incorporate quality tools in the process design in order to improve its innovation and efficiency. The recommendations of this study centered around relaxing the source of internal politics that block quality, by supporting feedback channels and increasing the level of communication. Additionally, financial services sector is recommended to lever the awareness of TQM concept, focus on human resources beside customers, reinforce top management proactive role and enhance process quality. © Arwa Ayyash, Nedal Al-Fayoumi, Bana Abuzayed, 2012.
