The purpose of the study is to develop and validate an instrument to measure perception on TQM\npractices among research and development (R&D) center employees. Empirical data were\ncollected from 102 employees in a public R&D center in Saudi Arabia. The content validity,\nconstruct validity, criterion-related validity, and reliability were examined. Results showed that\nthe instrument is a reliable and valid tool in measuring the employees� perception on TQM\npractices. This produces a relatively compact instrument comprising four TQM variables with 22\nitems that allows researchers and practitioners to measure perceived TQM implementation among\nall types of employees and TQM program levels in public organizations. Suggestions for using the\ninstrument are presented.
