However, there is a lack of empirical research in this field. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the understanding of the process view and process maturity levels in a transition economy and to test the impact of process orientation maturity level on organizational performance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>Empirical investigation combined an exploratory\u2010confirmatory approach using factor analysis and structural equation modeling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The investigation confirms the impact of business process orientation on organizational performance in a transition economy. The link is even stronger than in the original investigation.

The finding that the impact on financial performance is indirect through non\u2010financial performance suggests that the companies have to take that view of performance into consideration as well.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper is valuable for academics and practitioners because the impact of business process orientation on organizational performance has been confirmed for a transitional economy. Its originality is in the measurement of organizational performance, for which a more detailed specification of organizational performance based on the balanced scorecard concept that includes non\u2010financial performance measures has been used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/14637150810903084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,27]],"date-time":"2008-09-27T07:04:41Z","timestamp":1222499081000},"page":"738-754","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":167,"title":["The impact of business process orientation on financial and non\u2010financial performance"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Rok","family":"\u0160krinjar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vesna","family":"Bosilj\u2010Vuk\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mojca","family":"Indihar\u2010\u0160temberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020520264772300_b56","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Agrell, P.J., Bogetoft, P. and Tind, J.
