Abstract

This research aims to build and test an integrative model analyzing the impact of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) across three dimensions (preventive maintenance, autonomous maintenance, and training & development) on improving Production Efficiency (PE) across three dimensions (productivity, breakdown reduction, and product quality), through the mediating role of Organizational Culture (OC) across three dimensions (continuous improvement culture, teamwork, and organizational commitment), at the Wasit Textile and Knitting Factory as a case study. The researcher adopted a descriptive-analytical approach combined with a case study methodology. A 48-item questionnaire was designed and distributed to a census sample of (115) individuals out of (140) with a response rate of (82.1%). Data were analyzed using SPSS V.26 and AMOS V.24. Results revealed a significant positive impact of TPM on PE (β = 0.718, p < 0.001), and organizational culture plays a partial mediating role with an indirect effect of (0.274) and mediation ratio of (38.2%), while R² increased from (0.516) to (0.614) upon introducing the mediator.
