dc.description.abstractThis research is the first empirical study in the aquaculture sector that aims to examine the total quality management (TQM) practices of managers and employees in aquaculture processing plants. Although the concept of quality has existed since ancient times in human history, it has gained its modern meaning as TQM in the last fifty years. In this context, the aim of the study is to evaluate the implementation of TQM in the aquaculture sector and to reveal its effects on the competitiveness and sustainability of enterprises. The population of the research consists of managers and employees working in Aquaculture Processing Plants. In the research, demographic and socio-economic status of the participants were determined. In addition, in the analysis of the data, it was aimed to obtain more meaningful and summarised factors by using the dimension reduction method. The 26 variables applied in the field were reduced to 6 (six) factors by factor analysis. These factors explained 70.724% of the total variance. The findings of the study are expected to provide a significant contribution to the scientific literature in this field as well as preparing the ground for further and comprehensive research.
