Abstract: Human beings must cover not only physical, emotional and cognitive, but also spiritual necessities. This holds particularly true, when the individual is looking to find a meaningful sense to his work. The current research is focused on analyzing the existence of differences in indicators of spirit at work considering demographic and organizational characteristics of the individuals. We examine individuals who work in a maquiladora plant of electronic articles located in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. An empirical, quantitative and cross-sectional study was designed based on the existing literature, especially the literature on environments by Lean Kaizen. The instrument was applied to one-hundred subjects. Variance analysis examining the independent variables age, education, tenure and position held were performed. Results show that spirit at work under a Lean Kaizen environment is actually affected by age, education, tenure and position held.
