Purpose: the creation of a questionnaire for business process maturity measurement. Design/Method/Approach. The authors developed a set of items and applied confirmatory factor analysis in order to demonstrate questionnaire validation and reliability. Findings. The model supports prior research to the extent that business process maturity can be explained by strategic alignment, governance and culture. Surprisingly, methodology showed weak result and IT & Technology as well as people did not seem to be part of the model. Theoretical implications. This research not only confirmed prior research but also showed that there is wiggle room regarding the underlying factors of business process maturity and how to apply them. Practical implications. This research provides a questionnaire for practitioners to assess business process maturity. Originality/Value. The authors created a questionnaire that can be used in practice and is based on factors backed up by academic research and findings. Research limitations/Future research. The authors suggests applying the questionnaire to a larger sample size as well as expanding the statistical methods used.   Paper type – empirical.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Blockchain protocol comprises several attributes, among which transparency stands out. In this vein, the purpose of this article is to advance research on the implications of transparency (as derived from the use of blockchain) for business sustainability (BS). Originality/value: There is continuing interest in applying blockchain for creating and improving transparency, with this latter representing a strategic asset in BS. However, despite advancing this subject, the literature still lacks studies that explain the organizational circumstances in which blockchain can enable progress on transparency in the scope of BS. Design/method/approach: The methodology involved an integrative literature review on blockchain, transparency, and BS, and it was conducted with the support of Web of Science and Scopus to attend the research objective. Findings: The results favored the proposal of two analytical frameworks: one refers to the concepts of blockchain and transparency presented by the academic literature, and the other to the benefits of blockchain and transparency for the economic, social, and environmental BS dimensions. Furthermore, discussions involved deducing propositions about the use of blockchain to improve transparency in the BS context. The propositions open future research directions to studies that aim to test them qualitatively or quantitatively.

Zusammenfassung Zielsetzung Eine gute Organisation der internen Prozesse ist für ein funktionierendes Gesundheitswesen essenziell. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist der Prozess der Behandlung und Interaktion mit den Patienten, da die Wahrnehmung von Behandlung und Interaktion in einem direkten Zusammenhang mit der Patientenzufriedenheit steht. Letztere hat einen großen Einfluss auf die Gesundung der Patienten. Welche Auswirkungen der Reifegrad des Behandlungs- und Interaktionsprozesses auf die Patientenorientierung hat, wird am Beispiel einer umfangreichen Befragung von Krankenhausmanagern in der Ukraine untersucht. Methodik Die Analyse basiert auf einer empirischen Erhebung, die bei Chefärzten und deren Stellvertretern in einer ukrainischen Großstadt, die als Modell-Stadt einer umfassenden Gesundheitsreform fungiert, durchgeführt wurde. Anhand des Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM) haben wir unsere Hypothese, dass ein hoher Prozessreifegrad zu einem hohen Maß an Patientenorientierung führt, getestet. Dazu haben wir eine Methode zur Messung des Prozessreifegrads entwickelt und diese auf Validität und Reliabilität geprüft. An der Befragung haben 79 Chefärzte und Stellvertreter teilgenommen, die alle öffentlichen Gesundheitseinrichtungen der Stadt (Krankenhäuser, Familienärztehäuser etc.) repräsentieren. Ergebnisse Die Untersuchung zeigt einen klaren Zusammenhang zwischen der Reife des Behandlungs- und Interaktionsprozesses und dem Grad der Patientenorientierung der jeweiligen Gesundheitseinrichtung. Die Varianz, die durch die unabhängige Variable Prozessreifegrad erklärt wird, liegt bei 16,3 %. Alle formativen Dimensionen zeigen einen stark signifikanten Einfluss auf das Konstrukt „Patientenorientierung”. Der Reifegrad des Behandlungs- und Interaktionsprozesses weist ebenfalls einen stark signifikanten Einfluss auf die Patientenorientierung auf. Schlussfolgerung Für Gesundheitseinrichtungen ist es von großer Bedeutung, einen hohen Reifegrad des Behandlungs- und Interaktionsprozesses zu erreichen, um damit dem Anspruch von Patientenorientierung gerecht werden zu können. Die Reife des Prozesses kann mit dem im Rahmen dieser Studie entwickelten Fragebogen getestet werden.

Business Process Maturity

PurposeThe discipline of business process management (BPM) is challenged by investigating how work is performed in organizations while simultaneously recognizing preeminent environmental issues. Although organizations have become more open to the ecological impact of business processes through Green BPM, research in this field and guidance for practitioners remains relatively limited. Therefore, this study aims to extend and translate the conventional perspective on business process maturity towards green business process maturity levels.Design/methodology/approachThe authors bridged product-focussed and process-focussed environmental management practices by surveying ecolabels against theoretical capability areas for business process maturity. Since ecolabels are instruments to develop environmental-friendly products and services, the authors looked at the underlying processes to produce such green outcomes. By surveying 89 ecolabel organizations, the authors had indirectly access to an international set of companies, operating in distinct industries and producing a wide variety of green products and services.FindingsThe authors statistically uncovered a classification of four groups of ecolabels based on the process capabilities, each representing a distinct green business process maturity level. The four levels are “Green BP immaturity”, “Green BPL maturity”, “Green BPM maturity” and “Green BPO maturity” and align with well-established concepts in the business process literature and profession.Originality/valueScholars are encouraged to elaborate on the identified maturity levels in order to build and test a green business process maturity model, whereas practitioner-related advice is provided based on possible green business process maturity journeys towards excellence.
