The aim and scope of this article is to uncover the relationship between the use of TQM, which has an important impact on the increasing competitive conditions, and the effects on organizational agility with the mediating role of ambidexterity. And used quantitative approach, which emphasizes the data collection and analysis of numerical data to uncover the results. The findings highlight the value of TQM as an independent accelerator of agility. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) should make the strategic use of TQM to improve its dynamic responsiveness to environments.
