An investigation into the Relationship between Business Processes Re-engineering (BPR) and Employees' Performance
An empirical study at the Jordanian public shareholding companies
Keywords:
Business Processes Re-engineering, Employees' Performance, Organization performance
Abstract
This study is aiming at exploring and analyzing the relationship between the three dimensions of Business Re-engineering Processes (Organization’s Structural, Procedural and Technological) (BPR) and the three aspects of employees' performance (knowledge, skill, and attitude). The main results of this study have revealed that there is a positive, strong, and significant relationship between the BPR dimensions and employee performance. It also indicates that there is a statistically significant effect of the BPR dimensions on the employee’s performance.
