These enabler criteria help to explain the waysin which total quality management (TQM) is implemented in any organization.Data for this study was collected from a total of 142 participants, includingselective officials of the Chittagong City Corporation (CCC), city dwellers,government officials and civil society representatives by using a structuredquestionnaire.
