Abstract
The Yemeni construction industry stands as a vital pillar of the country's economy, consistently contributing to its GDP. Despite its economic significance, the department faces challenges, particularly in enhancing its capabilities, notably in the realm of green innovation development. Recent evidence suggests that quality improvement methodologies, such as Total Quality Management (TQM), hold promise in fostering innovation and sustainability. However, the relationship between TQM and green innovation remains debated, especially given the limited empirical exploration of TQM's application within Yemen's construction sector. This study seeks to elucidate the impact of quality management on green innovation, with a focus on the mediating role of innovative work behaviour. To gather data, we used a quantitative research design and distributed questionnaires to 315 managerial-level employees in the Yemen construction department's public sector. Utilising a two-step approach to structural equation modelling, the data underwent rigorous analysis to assess the hypothesised direct and indirect effects. The findings highlight the critical role of TQM practices in catalysing green innovation through innovative work behaviour within the Yemen Construction Department. By integrating environmental considerations into TQM methodologies, construction organisations cultivate a culture of innovation, prompting employees to conceive and implement ecofriendly solutions. Through mechanisms like employee involvement, continuous improvement, and process management, TQM practices facilitate the identification of opportunities for green innovation and encourage proactive engagement in innovative endeavors. This research contributes to the field by offering empirical evidence that elucidates how TQM, as a resource, enhances green innovation through innovative work behavior. It provides a conceptual framework for sustainable innovation, showcasing the potential synergies between TQM practices and green innovation within Yemen's construction sector. Ultimately, this study adds valuable insights to the body of knowledge, highlighting pathways for integrating TQM methodologies and green innovation to drive sustainable development in Yemen's construction department.
