        abstract = {This study explores the symbiotic relationship between organizational culture and lean operations through a strategic lens. Employing a descriptive survey methodology with a correlational approach, we investigate how organizational culture influences lean management practices. Our research focuses on department managers within the Ministry of Home Affairs, with a total population of 3,300 individuals. Samples were selected at various stages of the study, including a main sample of 300 department managers for comprehensive analysis. Statistical analyses, conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), validate measurement scales and examine mean score differences. Our findings reveal significant levels of lean management and organizational culture among department managers, indicative of a mature and innovative work environment within the Ministry. Additionally, we elucidate how organizational culture fosters creativity, innovation, and self-sufficiency among department managers, bolstering the efficacy of lean operations. These insights emphasize the importance of cultivating a supportive and adaptable organizational culture to enhance lean management practices and drive organizational success.},
