ABSTRACT

The selection of a basic measurement system is

based on a comparison of the advantages and

disadvantages of each system, and the EFQM

Excellence model is the measurement system of

choice (Chinda, 2008). The model consists of nine

criteria, five of which are ‘enablers’ and four of

which are ‘results’. Enablers include Leadership

(Lds), Policy and Strategy (Pol), People (Ppl),

Partnerships and Resources (Prs), and Processes

(Pro), and results include People,Customer,

Society, and Key Performance results. Put simply,

enablers cover what an organization is doing, while

results cover what an organization aims to achieve.

In this study, however, the focus has been mainly

on the improvements of, and interactions among,

the enablers’ criteria to achieve better results. For

this reason the four ‘results’ criteria are combined

together into a single construct (referred as Goals).

Accordingly, the proposed CSC model comprises

six constructs, as shown in Figure 1.
