dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study is to investigate the impact of lean manufacturing practices on job satisfaction among employees in lean manufacturing companies, moderated by lean culture and mediated by job characteristics. A survey has been conducted via questionnaire dropped off and collected from employees in selected ten lean manufacturing companies. A total of 500 questionnaires were sent and approximately 21% response rate obtained. Descriptive statistics were tabulated, followed by factor analysis, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation and hypotheses testing using regression analysis. The finding of this study is able to support the research objective. This study established that lean manufacturing practices have partial positive effect on job characteristics and job satisfaction. Job characteristics have significant positive effects on job satisfaction. Job characteristics have partially mediated the relationship between lean manufacturing practices and job satisfaction. Lean culture has partial moderating effects on the relationship between lean manufacturing practices and job satisfaction. The results will be of value to readers with interests in operations and human resources, as well as the management and implementation of lean and its associated practices. The limitations of this research are published where cross sectional studies by their nature are subject to common method variances; further refinement of the instrument and a replication of the study using a longitudinal approach are recommended. Additional studies should be supplemented to include a wider sampling to include Small and Medium Scale Enterprises or country specific. In summary, this study contributes to the existing pool of knowledge on the relationships between lean manufacturing practices and employee job satisfaction.en_US
