abstract={Organizational culture is vital for adopting Lean Construction (LC) methodologies in the construction industry. LC maximizes customer value by minimizing waste and optimizing processes. Implementing this philosophy necessitates a shift in values, attitudes, and behaviors. A culture promoting collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement aids the acceptance of Lean principles, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. Effective leadership and employee engagement are essential to tackle barriers, like resistance to change and lack of strategic alignment. Organizational culture aligns individual and organizational goals, fostering open communication and continuous learning. This study shows how organizations amplify LC benefits by integrating its principles with a culture of adaptability, shared responsibility, and operational excellence, boosting productivity and positioning companies as leaders in a competitive and innovation-driven sector. },
