Postrzeganie przez studentow mozliwosci wykorzystania modelowania procesow biznesowych w usprawnianiu organizacji

Purpose: The main aim of this article is to analyze the knowledge of the students – future users of these systems – of the awareness of the use and possibilities of using business process modeling in improving the organization. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was carried out using the CAWI method. The questionnaire prepared for this purpose was first verified with the participation of experts in the field of business process modeling and then made available to students to fill in on the servers of the Faculty of Management of the University of Warsaw. The study concerned general knowledge of concepts related to business process modeling, and detailed knowledge of definitions of selected categories in this field. Findings: The research has shown that the interest in the latest technologies among students is not very high, and the emerging new products are not known. Research has shown that the main barrier for students to model business processes is the need to learn tools. Finally, conclusions were drawn regarding the awareness of the use of business process modeling in improving the organization at present among people who will use it in the near future. Research limitations/Implications: The conducted study had its limitations – it was carried out only in one university department. The analysis of the views of the most active users does not allow us to judge the assessment of the entire society. It would seem that after two years of classes in the basics of computer science and information technology, students can supplement their interests with knowledge that almost guarantees them later employment and proves their understanding and modern approach to the interpretation of economic phenomena. Originality/Value: If such an opportunity arose, most of the respondents would use business process modeling to improve the organization’s operations. The use of business processes evaluates employees and intellectual capital to make informed decisions. Employee awareness and commitment are essential elements for the successful use of models.
