However, a thorough literature review has revealed such relationship is not being studied in the micro finance institutions and, furthermore, on the effect on Information Technology (IT) capability of such relationship. This paper is written based on a study done to examine the nature of such relationship that revealed the mediating effect of IT capability in the relationship between TQM and the performance of Micro finance banks in Yemen.
