“…On the Toyota website, the original Japanese wording of the English term Respect for People was Ningensei Sontyo (⼈間性尊重). The word sontyo , used to signify respect, is one of 18 concepts within the Japanese language that are considered to correspond more or less to the English concept of respect (Muto, 2016). Given that there are a range of possible concepts, why is RFP called ningensei sontyo and not, for example, ningensei sonkei ?…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reach a deeper understanding of the Lean principle of respect for people (RFP to facilitate Lean implementation in Western organizations outside Toyota. Design/methodology/approach This study uses an interpretative, hermeneutic approach to understand the RFP concept through a literature study of existing research about Lean implementation, and an inquiry into the underlying meaning of the RFP principle, by studying sources from Toyota and discussions about the RFP principle in Japan. Findings RFP is seen as a central principle in Lean implementations, but the failure of RFP is believed to cause Lean implementations to fail. The literature about Lean discusses the RFP principle both as a general positive atmosphere and as focused on developing the work capacity of employees. By studying the sources from Toyota, it could be understood that RFP is based on ought-respect. The authors also find that RFP is related to takumi, a perfected form of craftsmanship. The authors translate the concept to English by tying it to the recent literature about craft to develop RFP as RFC – respect for craftsmanship. Research limitations/implications As this is a conceptual paper, it is difficult to translate the findings into a tool for companies and organizations to use. However, that is the point of the paper: that the most important ideas are not translatable into tools. Practical implications It is necessary in Lean implementations to connect people’s work to craftsmanship. Through a discussion of craftsmanship before Lean implementations, it might be possible to nurture an understanding of the underlying values of Lean. Originality/value The authors have not found any papers that propose takumi as the base of the RFP principle, nor as a foundational concept at Toyota. It is necessary to understand the concept of takumi, as perfection in craft, to understand the RFP principle.

“…As all participants in this study were Japanese, we designed this study based on the Japanese concept for respect, sonkei (Muto, 2014(Muto, , 2016a. Muto (2016b) investigated a Japanese concept reflecting trait respect which refers to one's proneness to experience respect toward others. Trait respect is comprised of three factors: warm respect, worship, and awe, which are positively and moderately intercorrelated but differentially associated with the Big Five personality traits.…”

Respect is a positive other-oriented social emotion upon the recognition of excellence in others. We previously reported that respect-related brain activity in the left anterior temporal lobe (ATL). Since brain activity and structure are often involved in common cognitive functions, we investigated the morphological properties of the left ATL using voxel-based morphometry analysis. We found an association of trait respect with reduced gray matter volume (GMV) in part of the left ATL. Moreover, since the ATL is involved in general conceptual knowledge, we investigated the relationships between other social emotions with similar properties as respect and the GMV of the left ATL. We observed an association of reduced GMV with empathic concern, which is an otheroriented and affective aspect of trait empathy. Our findings indicated an association of the left ATL with other-oriented and affective aspect of social emotions.

“…Respect is an emotion that facilitates self-improvement. It is often experienced when one acknowledges excellence in others (Kitayama et al, 2006;Kuranaga & Higuchi, 2014;Li & Fischer, 2007;Muto, 2014Muto, , 2016aMuto, , 2016bMuto, , 2016cNakatani et al, 2019Nakatani et al, , 2020.…”

Moreover, simply presenting a photograph of a respected person could arouse emotions other than respect.…”

We experience respect when we interact with outstanding others or witness their skilled performance, and these emotions induce autonomic nervous system responses. Our aim was to examine the effects of experiencing respect on the autonomic nervous system by measuring physiological correlates. Twenty-six participants were presented with four conditions; three were personalized for each participant and involved respected individuals, parents, and teachers and one was the control condition, which involved unknown individuals. We included the parents and teachers conditions to examine if the results obtained would be equivalent to those of the respect condition. To evoke respect, we presented the participants with a photograph of a respected individual following a written episode involving the presented individual. We measured skin conductance responses (SCRs) and heart rates (HRs) during the presentation. Changes in SCRs were not significantly different across conditions. We found that HRs initially declined in all conditions but recovered 4 s after photograph presentation in the control condition only. In other conditions, the decline continued up to 5 s. These results suggest that experiencing respect elongated the orienting response and that respect would accompany some pleasure. In this study, we succeeded in placing the experience of respect-related emotion within the context of physiological psychology.
