Abstract : This paper aims at providing an empirical framework for exploring a proposed relationship between non-financial performance measures on the shop-floor and a range of technological, managerial, organisational and environmental factors. It presents summary statistics of research responses from interviewing managers of 144 Saudi manufacturing firms in June – July 2005. These summary statistics cover the level of existence and importance of some non-financial performance measures on shop-floor of UK manufacturing firms. They also cover the level of application of different innovative managerial practices (IMPs), advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs), and contemporary management accounting practices, and the extent of shop-floor involvement, shop-floor skills and training, and aspects of marketing competition. Three main questions were raised on the use and importance of shop-floor non-financial performance measures (SFNFPMs) in Saudi manufacturing firms. First, whether the use and importance of 19 subsidiary SFNFPMs of five evaluation categories (product quality, customer satisfaction, on-time delivery, employee morale, and efficiency and utilisation) is associated with specific contingent internal and external variables. Second, testing the associations between the existence and importance of SFNFPMs and levels of the specified contingent variables. And third, whether the causal order between the five shop-floor evaluation categories can be examined.
