Abstract

This research explores the dimensions of quality of higher education (QoHE) and its impact on the institutional image (II) in addition to examine the mediating role of student satisfaction (StS) between the QoHE and II. Structural equation modelling was used to describe the factors influencing the QoHE and the mediating variable as well as the hypothesis test on 302 samples as final. The findings of the study revealed that the quality of the teacher, research and infrastructural facility, syllabus and course curriculum, along with policy and budget are the important dimensions of quality education. Quality education was found to have a significant impact on the institutional image. Also, student satisfaction was found to be significant in predicting the institution's image. However, this study did not find the mediation impact of student satisfaction on the relationship between QoHE and the institutional image eventually where includes the main novelty of the study.
