The Toyota production system has indicated that success in lean initiatives involves taking people into account. However, in some organizations, these initiatives have omitted this requirement and only considered the technical aspects, a condition that has led to their failure. Among the causes of such failures in lean production are resistance to the implementation of lean production due to the fear of losing employment, lack of participation, and lack of commitment. Our study was conducted in the Mexican manufacturing industry (for export) and examined whether employees with a proactive personality had a role in the adoption of lean production practices; thriving at work was used as a mediating variable. A quantitative, empirical, cross-sectional, and explanatory research design was used with a non-probabilistic sample of 1123 workers. The statistical technique was partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that employees with a proactive personality have a positive perception of thriving at work and, due to the positive effects of both variables, the adoption of lean production practices is enhanced.

摘要

The Toyota production system has indicated that success in lean initiatives involves taking people into account. However, in some organizations, these initiatives have omitted this requirement and only considered the technical aspects, a condition that has led to their failure. Among the causes of such failures in lean production are resistance to the implementation of lean production due to the fear of losing employment, lack of participation, and lack of commitment. Our study was conducted in the Mexican manufacturing industry (for export) and examined whether employees with a proactive personality had a role in the adoption of lean production practices; thriving at work was used as a mediating variable. A quantitative, empirical, cross-sectional, and explanatory research design was used with a non-probabilistic sample of 1123 workers. The statistical technique was partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that employees with a proactive personality have a positive perception of thriving at work and, due to the positive effects of both variables, the adoption of lean production practices is enhanced.
