The survey technique has used to collect the responses; the total one hundred nineteen (119) usable responses were received. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that TQM and EMO influenced the SME export performance. Moreover, EMO plays a mediating role between TQM and SME export performance in furniture industry of Pakistan. The present study’s results motivate owner/managers of SMEs for more effort and investment in TQM implementation. Future research is encouraged to validate current work in service industry.
