The research sample size was N(379) managers and employees from different departments,and the outcomes of the study reveal that organizations that have implemented the EFQM model and guideline make tangible changes in the efficiency and effectiveness of business outcomes and customer satisfaction in addition to enhancing the corporate image. However, implementing the model failed to provide significant impacts on the employee's results, empowerment and participation.
