School management is responsible and accountable for implementing educational policies into practice effectively and efficiently to provide quality education. Simultaneously, school management can grasp the core features of the whole school process and identify the relationship among three variables: quality management practices, school culture, and student performance. The current study aims to explore the school principals' perception about quality management practices and its relationship with school culture and student performance in the public secondary schools of Punjab province, Pakistan. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the study adopted an exploratory sequential mix-methods research design. The researcher conducted a systematic literature review of sixty-three previous studies and interviews with eleven school principals for the qualitative data. Based on results obtained from the qualitative phase, a questionnaire was prepared and dispatched to 150 school principals to get quantitative data. Successively 120 valid responses were received. SEM analysis was performed to get quantitative results. The study's preliminary conclusion demonstrated a positive connection between quality management and student performance in public secondary schools, and quality management was also a significant predictor of school culture. Further, school culture served as a complete mediator between quality management and student performance.
学校管理负责且有责任有效地将教育政策付诸实践，以提供优质教育。同时，学校管理能够把握整个学校过程的核心特征，并确定质量管理实践、学校文化和学生成绩这三个变量之间的关系。本研究旨在探讨巴基斯坦旁遮普省公立中学的校长对质量管理实践的看法及其与学校文化和学生成绩的关系。为了实现研究目标，本研究采用了探索性序列混合方法研究设计。研究者对63项先前研究进行了系统的文献综述，并对11位校长进行了访谈以获取定性数据。基于定性阶段获得的结果，编制了一份问卷并分发给150位校长以获取定量数据。随后收到了120份有效回复。进行了结构方程模型分析以获得定量结果。该研究的初步结论表明，公立中学的质量管理与学生成绩之间存在正相关，质量管理也是学校文化的重要预测指标。此外，学校文化在质量管理和学生成绩之间起到了完全中介作用。
