Quality Management Synergy In Connection With Environmental Management Practices: A Study in Malaysian Perspective

Abstract

Recent discussions support the fact that the degree and sophistication of environmental management activities are influenced by quality management in Scopus databases and ISI Web of Science. However, the need for research has been checked to quantitatively reflect this relationship, especially in Malaysian-based enterprises. The goal of this research is therefore to address this gap: Does quality management have a positive impact in Malaysian companies on the implementation of environmental practices? The questionnaire for this analytical stage of investigations was therefore established and was a self-administered e-survey of 209 companies of every size and industry in Malaysia. This questionnaire was based on the above-mentioned issues. This study is established on four variables: Quality management (QM), environmental management (EM), ISO 14001 certification (ISO 14001), and size of the company (SC). The findings have shown that QM is significantly related to the practices of environmental management. Furthermore, the ISO 14001 certification and size of the companies were checked due to the regulation towards EM practices. Up to now, a report to test the empirical significance between QM and EM in the organizations in Malaysia has been the first to reveal for empirical study.
