Abstract
Taking high-tech manufacturers as the research object, this study explored the impacts of leadership style, organizational learning, and information technology investment on the implementation degree of total quality management activities and the correlation between the implementation degree of total quality management activities and new product development performance. The results show that the higher the implementation degree of total quality management activities, the more significant the positive impacts on new product development performance. Goal-oriented, steady and conservative, compassionate and supportive, and innovative and adaptable leadership styles are conducive to implementing total quality management activities. The higher the level of information technology investment and organizational learning, the more significant the positive impacts on the implementation of total quality management activities. High-tech manufacturers can enhance new product development performance by implementing total quality management activities, adopting a goal-oriented, steady and conservative, compassionate and supportive, or innovative and adaptable leadership style, and strengthening the level of information technology investment and organizational learning.
