Abstract

Quality assurance and accreditation are essential for universities to survive in a global market that values researchers. The current article focuses on determining the impact of institutional determinants on quality assurance and certification in Jordanian and Malaysian institutions. The recent article utilises primary data acquired via survey questionnaires from respondents. The present study used smart-PLS to explore item validity, variable reliability, and variable linkage utilising path analysis. The results showed a favourable correlation between quality assurance and accreditation in Jordanian and Malaysian universities. This article guides legislators in setting regulations for quality assurance and certification of university programmes.
