أثر الإدارة الرشيقة على جودة الحياة الوظيفية : دراسة ميدانية على الموظفين الإداريين بجامعة الملك عبد العزيز
This study aimed to investigate the impact of implementing lean management, specifically its dimensions of (workplace organization, continuous improvement, standardized work, and multi-skilled employees), on job quality at King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia from the perspective of its administrative employees. The study also sought to assess the level of lean management implementation and job quality at the university, as well as to identify any differences in the responses of the sample individuals regarding the study variables based on their demographic characteristics (gender, educational qualification, age, and years of experience, marital status, and job title). The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach and utilized a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study population consisted of all administrative employees at King Abdulaziz University, estimated at (4,300) individuals. A simple random sample of (243) individuals was selected. The study findings revealed that there is a partial effect of implementing lean management, specifically its dimensions of (multi-skilled employees, standardized work, workplace organization), on job quality at King Abdulaziz University. The study also found that the level of lean management implementation at the university is high (72.6%) and that the level of job quality is also high (70.8%). Additionally, the study identified differences in the responses of the sample individuals regarding the study variables based on the age variable, in favor of the 50 years and above age group. The study recommended the necessity of implementing lean management in the university's departments by adopting the integrated application of its dimensions and continuously improving them. This should include merging some routine work procedures after reviewing and studying them closely to reduce the number of procedures and the time required to complete transactions. The study also recommended adopting a culture of reducing waste and optimizing the use of available resources within the organizational culture of the university in all departments.
