Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the effect of Total Quality Management (TQM) on corporate environmental performance (EP), with Green Manufacturing (GM) acting as a mediating variable, specifically within the ceramic industry in Indonesia.

Research Methodology: A quantitative approach was adopted using a survey method, where data were collected through questionnaires distributed to ceramic companies that implement TQM and GM practices. A total of 20 companies were selected based on purposive sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis to examine the direct and indirect relationships between the variables.

Results: The study found that TQM has a significant positive effect on EP, both directly and indirectly through the mediation of GM. GM, specifically in areas such as energy efficiency, waste management, and sustainable raw materials, strengthened the impact of TQM on environmental performance.

Conclusions: TQM and GM together play a crucial role in enhancing the environmental performance of ceramic companies. The integration of quality management practices and green manufacturing strategies significantly contributes to operational sustainability and environmental improvements in the industry.

Limitations: The study is limited to ceramic companies in Indonesia, and the sample size is small. Further research with a larger sample across different industries and regions could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the relationships between TQM, GM, and EP.

Contributions: This study provides theoretical contributions by addressing the research gap regarding the mediating role of GM in the relationship between TQM and EP. It also offers practical recommendations for ceramic companies and policymakers to foster sustainability in the industry.
