Understanding Learning Intention Complexities in Lean Manufacturing Training for Innovation on the Production Floor
The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is a useful framework that helps explain people�s behavior across a wide range of settings. The present study adopted the TPB to investigate factors that affect the complexity of the learning intention of workers involved with a lean manufacturing training initia...
