Abstract
Since the Toyota Production System was re-named and introduced as the Lean philosophy,
many studies and articles have been published where the benefits of this philosophy are
highlighted. The focus of most studies has been mostly on measurable benefits, the human aspect
that exists in every organization and the effect that Lean can have over this aspect have been left
out of the spotlight In this perspective,
The current research was undertaken to study lean manufacturing, mainly in the Algerian
context –Schneider electric- and its impact on the company’s human resources motivation. By
adopting Hackman and Oldham’s well-recognized Job Characteristics Model, using a mixed
method approach .we have finally been able to confirm that lean manufacturing leads to staff’s
motivation and jobs under lean implementation have the potential to intrinsic motivate
