The diagram shows a central oval labeled “LEAN CULTURE.” Thirteen rectangles are positioned around the oval as follows: upper left “Lean Management Implementation,” middle left “Lean Manufacturing Implementation,” lower left “Operational Excellence,” bottom left “Lean Manufacturing Practice,” lower middle “Process Equipment and Suppliers relationship,” bottom center “Sustainable Performance,” lower right “Total Quality Management and Just in Time,” upper right “Positive Organisational Politics,” middle right “Corporate Competitiveness,” and lower right “Supply Chain Competitiveness,” and bottom right “Green Practice.” Two rectangles are at the top: “Management, Leadership, and Organisational Culture” and “Academic corruption.” Twelve colored arrows extend from the central oval to the surrounding rectangles. An arrow from “Lean Manufacturing Practice” points to the central oval. A rightward arrow from “Process Equipment and Suppliers relationship” points to “Sustainable Performance,” and a leftward arrow from “Total Quality Management and Just in Time” points to “Sustainable Performance.” Arrows representing direct impact (shown in red color) connect from “LEAN CULTURE” to “Lean Management Implementation,” “Lean Manufacturing Implementation,” “Positive Organisational Politics,” “Corporate Competitiveness,” “Supply Chain Competitiveness,” “Green Practice.” “Management, Leadership, and Organisational Culture” and “Academic corruption.” Arrows representing the moderator (shown in blue color) connect from “LEAN CULTURE” to the left and right arrows connecting to “Sustainable Performance.” Arrows representing the mediator (shown in green color) connect from “LEAN CULTURE” to “Operational excellence.” The arrow from “Lean Manufacturing Practice” also represents the mediator.Relationships of LC with other relevant organisational concepts. Note: Arrows’ colour codes: red-direct impact, blue-moderator, green-mediator. Most studies refer to managerial concepts and not to organisational psychology concepts regarding the effect of the LC.
