The objective of this study is to study the effect of technical quality in improving the performance of the university and to know the relationship between them. To achieve this goal, a questionnaire was designed and distributed among 213 academic scientific department heads who were working for five Iraqi universities and the results were analyzed using SPSS version 23. The results showed the effect of technical quality in improving performance in Iraqi universities. There was also a positive correlation between technical quality and performance while the results indicated a weak academic program. From the results of the research, we suggest some treatments.
