Thesis Title
Comprehensive analysis of BPI (Business Process Integration) as a mediator between trust and performance
Abstract
Performance in the workplace is one of the most critical aspects of organizational success. This success is usually measured using economic metrics (sales, profit, ROI, etc.) and operational metrics (productivity, cycle time, quality, customer satisfaction, competitiveness). At the same time, factors such as technological deployment, regulatory rules, corporate culture (mission, value, beliefs, and norms), organizational design, human motivated behavior, cohesiveness, and trust are used to gauge performance. Numerous scholars have examined the ways in which interpersonal trust in particular impacts employees’ behavior in the workplace and ultimately their performance. Specifically, the main objective of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between trust and organizations’ workforce performance by examining the role of Business Process Integration (BPI) in mediating that relationship. We will study the effects of BPI on the multiple levels and aspects of the relationship between trust and performance based on a qualitative case study of 10 companies in the developing country of Ivory Coast.
